Tkinter problem



Hi everybody!
I've recently installed python2.4.2 on Fedora 4 (from downloaded
sources), but it appeared, that I can't use Tkinter module:

>>> import Tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 38, in ?
import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured
for Tk
ImportError: libBLT24.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory

I tried the solution given in README file for RH9 (./configure
--enable-unicode=ucs4) despite they wrote the newer wersion didn't need
this hack. This is what I had after make instruction:

INFO: Can't locate Tcl/Tk libs and/or headers

It seems that --enable-unicode=ucs4 wasn't the right way. I tried
another hack: ./configure --enable-shared, but it still couldn't locate
Tcl/Tk libs and/or headers. Then I installed RPMs:

[root@localhost Python-2.4.2]# rpm -q tk
tk-8.4.9-3
[root@localhost Python-2.4.2]# rpm -q tcl
tcl-8.4.9-3
[root@localhost Python-2.4.2]# rpm -q tkinter
tkinter-2.4.1-2

and tried to do the hacks above, but it still could'nt find these libs.
What can I do?
