Most likely the development headers. Try installing tk-dev.

Thanks. You're right... I don't have tk-dev installed. duh. And I have choices to make... it looks like setup.py is looking for 8.4 headers; I have TclTk 8.5x installed. From the standard repository it looks like I can download and install tk-dev (dependency package) and|or tk-dev 8.3, or 8.4, or 8.5... and I am not sure which of these is what is needed without causing other problems. Can 8.4 and 8.5 be installed together without problem? Does it really matter which of these I use for the purpose of python build? If I have TclTk 8.5 installed should I only download the 8.5 tk-dev package?

sorry for being so dense... and I'm definitely over three... way too tough for eating or anything like that :}



kind regards,
