Hello all,

Am hoping some here can help me or point me in the right direction.

I have and Irix 6.5.11 machine. I can install the default Python2.1 no
problem.  But I just installed TCL/TK 8.3.3 and would like to use
TKinter with it.  So I edited the Modules/Setup file to enable tkinter
it looks like this

I have tk and tcl installed in /usr/local/
