That is the problem. Quoting from README:

Red Hat Linux: Red Hat 9 built Python2.2 in UCS-4 mode and hacked
	Tcl to support it. To compile Python2.3 with Tkinter, you will
	need to pass --enable-unicode=ucs4 flag to ./configure. 

In this case "it is so difficult" because Redhat chose to hack Tcl.

HTH,
