Recently I upgraded to potato (from slink). There were dependency problems with Python packages (and related programs).
The first error message was about a missing libtk8.3.so . However, tk8.3 _was not_ in .deb packages, so I installed it from source. It went to /usr/local/lib . However, the python-base package required it from /lib, so I created a symlink to it from /usr/local/lib . My questions: - is it the proper way of using .deb packages and sources together? (making symlinks) - what if I install Python 2.0 from source? Will it destroy the .deb installed Python 1.5.2 ? Or will it go into a different directory, and I should create symlinks?? - how do you use .deb packages together with other software (installed from source)? -- GYULAI Mihály http://gyulai.freeyellow.com Rejtő Jenő művei, Linux _ _ _ _ _ / / / / | | | Miféle dominó-effektus ?
