Python3 Tkinter difficulty

[harrismh777]

Greetings folks,
    I am very new to this usenet forum, and I am brand new to Python3... 
so be gentle <please>
    The source tarball for Python3 compiled and installed (local install 
for first experiments $HOME/local/) and runs very well in my terminal.
    I am not able to run IDLE because the compile build process could 
not build the _tkinter module, I think because TclTk is not installed on 
this system in the standard places... Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty.  I have TclTk 
installed version 8.5x and tclsh and wish work fine... also IDLE on 
python 2.62 works fine too.
    I am noticing that setup.py has the path to the TclTk libs hardcoded 
for /usr/X11R6/...  and my TclTk is not there... so I'm thinking that I 
need to direct the setup.py path to the right place and thinngs should 
work... but, I'm at a bit of a loss to know exactly what its looking 
for... libs, or libs and devel headers?   or other?
    Help/Hints would be appreciated from the initiated... humbly greatful...

kind regards,
m harris
