Category: Build Group: Python 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nathan Zook (nathan_zook_wk) Assigned to: Sean Reifschneider (jafo) Summary: 2.3.5 source RPM install fails w/o tk-devel Initial Comment: Install fails because _tkinter.so is not found. This library is not built if the tk header files are not found, but the installer treats this as a fatal error. This dependece upon tk-devel is not noted in the .spec file, so the install fails late (and unclearly) instead of early & clearly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Sean Reifschneider (jafo) Date: 2006-01-16 21:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=81797 The build doesn't really have a way of adaptively adjusting to whether Tk is available or not. Some people in the past have wanted to build without tk, but perhaps we should just always build with tk? Also, newer RPM versions have a nicer way of doing conditional builds which will probably help this. Any ideas? I'll try to get a new release of the spec file out in the next week and build some SRPMs from them so that people can try them. Currently, this is only addressed by being a FAQ on the RPM pages.
