It is hard to tell what is wrong, exactly. Two suggestions: If this is a 32-bit build, why is there a "-L/usr/X11R6/lib64" and *before* the regular "-L/usr/X11R6/lib"? Try to rerun just that line "gcc -pthread .... _tkinter.so" but without the "-L/usr/X11R6/lib64" option.
If that still fails, try a fresh reconfigure and rebuild from scratch, now that the Tcl/Tk libs are there. Start with "./configure ...." per the instructions in the README file, run "make clean" etc.. /Jean Brouwers In article <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Jeffrey Barish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Jean Brouwers wrote: > > > > > Here is how we understand this (which may be incomplete and/or > > incorrect). > > > > The _tkinter module is a shared library _tkinter.o and that is built > > from C source file _tkinter.c.
