Here's what I get when I import Tkinter at a python prompt:

import Tkinter

I tried make clean and make. Same result. Ah, now I see that the output from make includes:
INFO: Can't locate Tcl/Tk libs and/or headers
Aren't the libs and headers included in Python-2.4.tgz?
On Windows, the Python distribution does include Tkinter and tcl/tk. It's different on Unices (including Linux): since tcl/tk is very often installed by default, it is not included in the Python distribution.
Have you looked for libraries / header files in /usr/lib and /usr/include? This is usually where they go when you install them with Linux. Since you mentionned you upgraded to Python 2.4, I assume you had a working installation of a previous Python version. So the tcl/tk libraries and header files must be there somewhere. Did you look at your Modules/Setup for the older Python? If Tkinter was working with this version, the setup for the _tkinter module should use the correct paths.
