it would need to be ported before becoming an activity (though a temporary
hack would be to include tk in the activity directory and run the activity
from a shell which first did "export LD_PRELOAD".)

The question is, what tk-based app? IDLE? Wouldn't you prefer Develop?

As to how, I would definitely try yum install before copying directories
willy-nilly.
