Hello, This is my first posting to this list so please be gentle -
I am new to python and am using it on red-hat linux (I am new to that too). I am responsible for installing open source packages (including python) onto a distributed system of linux boxes. My question is, on python version 2.6.2 tkinter refuses to install. Without tkinter, I cannot use Idle. I looked at the install/configure script and hacked it a bit, but every fix only caused new problems. There are serious issues with that script for finding necessary libraries. We have a Sun-OS box with python version 2.5.x (I don't know the means of installation) that tkinter installed correctly, and Idle works fine. My question is - has anyone else noticed the problem of tkinter and red-hat linux? Has this been corrected in python 2.6.4 (or 2.6.5)? thanks, bob s. ----------------------------------- robert schaefer Atmospheric Sciences Group MIT Haystack Observatory Westford, MA 01886 email: r...@haystack.mit.edu voice: 781-981-5767 www: http://www.haystack.mit.edu -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
