I get: >>> import Tkinter ... import _tkinter # if this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk ImportError: No module named _tkinter So, here is how I am compiling tcl/tk and Python please let me know if you see any issues with this. assuming, my prefix is /tmp/testdir wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/tcl8.5.11-src.tar.gz wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/tk8.5.11-src.tar.gz tar -xzpf tcl8.5.11-src.tar.gz && tar -xzpf tk8.5.11-src.tar.gz #compile tcl cd tcl8.5.11/unix/ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/testdir --enable-64bit --enable-threads make make test make install #compile tk cd tk8.5.11/unix/ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/testdir --enable-threads --enable-64-bit --with-tcl=/tmp/testdir/lib make make install #compile python wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/Python-2.7.3.tgz tar -xzpvf Python-2.7.3.tgz cd Python-2.7.3/ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/testdir --enable-shared LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,/tmp/testdir/lib" Any thoughts? -- --- Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.-- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
