IDLE not working on RedHat 9

[djw]

I was going to ask about this myself - is this typical on a Linux distro 
to not have tkinter installed? I was hoping to be able to use Tk as the 
"lowest common denominator" UI when I could not count on Qt or GTK, etc. 
   Apparently, that's not the case? Is there any way to reliably get a 
UI up on Linux without having to ship one?
