You lack the tk development libraries and/or headers. Try (as root):

 apt-get install tk-dev

The necessary bits to build these optional modules were not found:
_bz2                  _curses               _curses_panel
_dbm                  _gdbm                 _lzma
_sqlite3              _ssl                  _tkinter
readline              zlib

You need a bunch of other devleopment libraries too. You can use "apt-cache search" to look for package names, eg "apt-cache search readline".

Based on an Ubuntu system also here try installing: libsqlite3-dev, libbz2-dev, libncursesw5-dev, libgdbm-dev, lzma-dev, libssl-dev, libreadline-dev, zlib1g-dev.

Then do a clean configure again and see what it says.
