Guys/Gals
I've messed up my Python 2.4 install. I'm really new to Python (and Linux for that matter) and really wanted to try Python out.
I have mandrake 10.1. The first thing I did was uninstalled via rpm Python 2.3 and Tkinter 8.3 (I now realize that was a mistake, since I could have both version installed with no problems). I then downloaded Python2.4 ran ./configure make and make install... voila I had Python installed...
Tk calls did not work, the output from Python when running a program stated that I probably did not have TK installed. I got and installed TK 8.4 and the problem persisted (I know I should have written down the exact error, but I didn't... but the story gets worse!)
Here is the really stupid part... I figured if I uninstalled and re-installed everything would be ok.... the bad part is I could not find an uninstaller for TK or Python, so I just searched and delted the files and directorys from /usr/local.... when I re-installed I still have problems.. everything installs ok, but now I get the following errors with Python...
bash: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory
The interesting thing is the python executable is in /usr/local/bin
when I go to /usr/local/bin and type ./python I get
