[Image-SIG] A small thing with PIL and the tk and tcl libraries.

[BJörn Lindqvist]

This program:

from Tkinter import *
import Image, ImageTk

class App(Frame):
    def __init__(self, master = None):
        Frame.__init__(self, master)
        im = Image.open("tile0000.png")
        self.pi = ImageTk.PhotoImage(im)
        Button(self, text = "tjaba", image = self.pi).pack()
        self.pi.paste(im)
        self.pack()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = App()
    app.mainloop()

Gave the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test1.py", line 15, in ?
    app = App()
  File "test1.py", line 11, in __init__
    self.pi.paste(im)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PIL/ImageTk.py", line 179, in paste
    import _imagingtk
 ImportError: libtcl8.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
 directory

But I have libtcl8.4.so in /usr/lib. I fixed it by making a symlink to
libtcl8.3.so. Minor inconvenience but annoying. :)
