I installed Tcl8.4 from activestate, and had the same version conflict error when I did the Tkinter test in Python. So I uninstalled both Tcl8.4 and Tcl8.5 (I did sudo ./uninstall while in this directory, the 8.4 and 8.5 versions: /Library/Receipts/ ActiveTcl-8.4.pkg/Contents/Resources) Then I reinstalled Tcl8.4 from active state, and now it still seems to look for Tcl8.5 when I say "import _tkinter" in Python: katrine-whitesons-computer:/Applications/Q/matplotlib-0.99.1.1 katrinewhiteson$ python Python 2.6 (trunk:66714:66715M, Oct 1 2008, 18:36:04) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5370)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import _tkinter Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/ lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/_tkinter.so, 2): Library not loaded: / Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/Tcl Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/ lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/_tkinter.so Reason: image not found ____________________ I looked in /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework and found 2 folders, "8.4" and "Current", the latter does not contain anything that says 8.5. How can I get python to stop looking for 8.5? thank you!
