After correcting a few mistakes to which you brought my attention, I now 
get this output upon attempting make:

...
In file included from ./Modules/_tkinter.c:45:
/opt/tcltk/include/tk.h:83:29: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory

This file does *not* exist, anywhere:

#find / -name "Xlib.h"
#find / -name "X11*"
/usr/bin/X11
/usr/lib/X11
/usr/X11R6
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11
/var/cache/man/X11R6
/etc/X11
#ls /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/
fs
#ls /usr/bin/X11/
fsinfo  fslsfonts  fstobdf  mkfontdir  xfs
#ls /etc/X11/
applnk  fs  prefdm

I never use XWindows, so I'm wondering if it's even installed properly, or 
if I really need it for Tkinter. Your advice?
TIA,
