Nothing special, just reading the "configure --help" will help you. You need Tcl/Tk + possible devel-packages so the header-files are found. I'm not an expert on the required versions, but that should be told you somewhere. But I doubt that there isn't a python2.5 already available for your distro - especially if it's debian based. Ubuntu for example has 2.5 as default. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
