Thanks everyone for your patience, and certainly for your help. I pulled
down tk-dev 8.5 from the repository (I did not modify anything in the
config setup.py manually), then this:
./configure --prefix=$HOME/local/python3
make
make install
This time the build process picked up the TclTk headers just fine and
built the _tkinter module. IDLE is back on-line!--- yessssss.
Thanks again folks,
kind regards,
