Category: Installation Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: David Strozzi (dstrozzi) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: python 2.5 install can't find tcl/tk in /usr/lib64 Initial Comment: Hi, I'm trying to compile python 2.5 RC1 under opensuse 10.1 on a 64-bit AMD athlon. Although the README says it will auto-detect tcl/tk, and setup tkinter appropriately, it doesn't. Among other things, this means idle can't use this python version. I have tcl/tk, the libraries, devel packages, anything that seemed relevant in YaST installed. I think the problem is my tcl/tk libs live in /usr/lib64. It seems, based on the file Modules/Setup generated by ./configure, that the python installer doesn't see these libs. >From perusing the web there seems to be a fair amount of pain caused by /lib vs /lib64 dir names. In fact an older post to the forum identifies the same issue (just search for lib64 if this link is busted): http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1294959&group_id=5470&atid=105470 It would be very nice if this were somehow handled automatically, or at least give detailed instructions in the README (search the doc for lib64 returns nothing).
