python build issues when compiling on Fedora 14

On a 32-bit Fedora 14 system I get errors whether I enable python support or not.

There are two versions of python available neither works and disabling python support also doesn't work.

./configure --enable-run-in-place --enable-simulator

produces

checking match between tk and Tkinter versions... Traceback (most recent call last):

TCL mismatch: 8.5 vs
configure: error: Python requires use of Tcl and Tk .

import _tkinter seems to only work in python3 so I tried:

./configure --enable-run-in-place --enable-simulator --with-python python3

checking for Python support... yes
checking python version... /usr/bin/yes: invalid option -- 'c'
Try `/usr/bin/yes --help' for more information.
configure: error: Python version too old (2.4 or newer required)


Finally I tried
./configure --enable-run-in-place --enable-simulator --disable-python

the configure ran fine, but make failed with
