Thanks for the reply, and offer of hope of a simple resolution. I did use a 
workstation install, and then added all the possible related entries in the 
new redhat-config-packages tool.  Checking the rpms gives: -
$ rpm -q tk
tk-8.3.3-74
$ rpm -q tcl
tcl-8.3.3-74
$ rpm -q python
python-2.2.1-17
I understand Tkinter is integrated with the python distribution and does not 
require an rpm.

Runnung python gives: -
$ python
Python 2.2.1 (#1, Aug 30 2002, 12:15:30)
[GCC 3.2 20020822 (Red Hat Linux Rawhide 3.2-4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from Tkinter import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named Tkinter
>>>

I'll brows around the rpms directly, but if you have any ideas I would be 
glad of them.

Cheers
