problems installing tkinter 2.0 on linux

[Michael Hearne]

I have RH7 linux on an Intel PC.  I downloaded Python 2.0, and Tkinter. 
When I try to install
Tkinter, I get a message telling me that it has dependencies on tcl8.0
and tk8.0.

I uninstalled tcl8.3 (was this a bad thing?), and found a src.rpm for
tcl8.0.5.  I tried to install it with rpm -i and nothing happened.  So I
dug through the man page for rpm, then tried:

rpm --rebuild

It took an awfully long time and spewed a bunch of messages on the
screen, and in the end, failed to install.

Does anyone have

1) any tips?
2) a binary rpm for tcltk8.0?

Thanks,

Mike
