It depends of what linux distribution are you using (you should
specify it). If you have a Debian box, simply type (as root):

$ apt-get install python2.2-tk

Re: Tkinter not installed

i am very sorry.i am using Redhat Linux 8.0.
I 've downloaded few rpm files "tkinter-2.2.1-17.i386.rpm"

know that it is used to compress some software files).

I have not used Red Hat for a long time. However, a bit of googling gives:

Using RPM (from the Red Hat manuals) (command-line tool):

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/s1-rpm-using.html

In short, write (as root):

$ rpm -Uvh tkinter-2.2.1-17.i386.rpm

If it complains about 'Failed dependencies', you will need to install some
other packages first.

You can also use a graphical tool. See:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/ch-graphical-rpm.html

Another alternative is to use 'apt-rpm'. See:
