Problems compiling Tkinter

[Rich Somerfield]

has anybody tried compiling tkinter on linux (suse 6.4, have already
downloaded and compiled Python 2.0 and Pil 1.1.1) ?  I downloaded the source
and couldnt find any info as to how to compile it.

i tried the command "python setup.py install" but got the following error.
I know that the last path is invalid (my install is in /usr/bin/python) but
cant find where it is specified wrongly.  Should I cheat and create a
softlink so that the install can pick up the relavent files?, or is there
something I can do to solve this problem properly?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
Rich
