looks like an old header file.  iirc, they added the
interp argument at some time during the 8.0 beta phase,
so you might have an early 8.0 version on your machine.

unless you want to grab the latest and greatest Tcl/Tk
(8.0.5 is probably your best bet for Python 1.5.2), you
could try changing the call in tkImaging.c to match your
header file:

    photo = Tk_FindPhoto(argv[1]); /* using old Tk library */
