I've been Python (2.3.4) plus Tkinter happily under MacOX 10.3, having compiled them from scatch. (Tkinter is based on tcl/tk 8.4.1, which were compiled from source via Fink).
I then moved my laptop over the 10.4, and things are now breaking. Using the Python shipped with 10.4 (which has Tkinter based on tcl/tk 8.4.7) the window in a particular application looks completely different (more Apple-like) and the buttons no longer work properly. (Oddly, some icons have fallen off the buttons.) I therefore thought I might compile Python from scratch and that fell over with messages: sem_init: Function not implemented sem_wait: Bad file descriptor sem_post: Bad file descriptor reported at intervals. I assume the odd Tkinter behaviour is due to problems Apple created Apple-ising it? Is that correct, or has there been a major change to the API between 8,4 and 8.7?. Is there any work-around? Secondly, can I assume that the compiler messages indicate a problem with the compiler (gcc select 3.3 makes no difference, BTW). Your ideas would be appreciated.
