I just ran into this problem again myself, on an Ubuntu machine.  It
has been present for a while.

A quick fix is to edit 'setup.py' and change the line

BUILD_TKAGG        =3D 'auto'

to

BUILD_TKAGG =3D 0

Another solution is to install the Tk development headers.  Under
Ubuntu it is in the package tk8.4-dev.

This is probably something that should be caught by setup.py
before building though!
