[Python] Install tkinter and the Python interpreter locally

I work with Linux on a service. And I don't have the root privilege. I installed the python-3.2.3 locally to "/home/sam/install_sam". when I import the tkinter module. I get the following error:

ImportError: No module named _tkinter, please install the python-tk package


I know I need to install the Tkinter module. Because I don't have the root privilege. I can't use like the following commands:

apt-get install python-tk
sudo apt-get install python-tk


And I search on Google. I get tcl/tk from here. I install them use the following commands.

cd ~/Downloads/tcl8.5.11/unix
./configure --prefix=/home/sam/install_sam/tcl
make
make install

cd ~/Downloads/tk8.5.11/unix
./configure --prefix=/home/sam/install_sam/tk
--with- tcl=/home/sam/Downloads/tcl8.5.11/unix
make
make install

cd ~/Downloads/Python3.2.3/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/sam/install_sam/tcl/lib:/home/sam/install_sam/tk/lib
export LD_RUN_PATH=/home/sam/install_sam/tcl/lib:/home/sam/install_sam/tk/lib
./configure --prefix=/home/sam/install_sam/python
make
make install


I still got an error: INFO: Can't locate Tcl/Tk libs and/or headers. How should I configure the tcl/tk for the Python interpreter?
