I am trying to install Python3.2.2 on Ubuntu 11.10.  I downloaded the tar file. Then as per readme file did ./configure , make, make test, and then  sudo make install.  When “make” command is issued following appears along with many other messages 

Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found:
_curses            _curses_panel      _dbm            
_gdbm              _sqlite3           _ssl            
_tkinter           bz2                readline        
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.

Now after final installation when I run idle following message appears 

** IDLE can't import Tkinter.  Your Python may not be configured for Tk. **

I tried “sudo apt-get install python3-tk” and got following message
python3-tk is already the newest version.

I am new to programming and ubuntu both. Please Help.
Thanks n regards.

Hi, the bug tracker is not here to receive help. Please ask your questions on the python-list mailing list.
This said, since you have already installed the packages "python3-tk" and "python3", so you could as well install "idle3" and use it...
