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,

m harris
