<TITLE>Building Python2.4.1 with idle on HPUX11</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I've been trying to build Python 2.4.1 on an HPUX11. Python builds ok, but idle has issues. And what I don't know is how to determine whether or not Python discovers the tcl/tk libraries (.sl) and headers, or if there's some other problem. If someone has thoughts on either how to invoke 'configure' or how to debug this issue, please let me know.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'm executing them from an HPUX directory (different for each one) to isolate the different platform's objects/libraries since I also build and run from IRIX646 and SunOS5 (both of which work find).</FONT></P>
