I installed Tcl/Tk 8.4.5 and now I'm having a problem installing
Python 2.3.2:

I installed Tcl/Tk in a non-standard directory, since I don't have
root, but I edited the Modules/Setup file to have

# *** Always uncomment this (leave the leading underscore in!):
 _tkinter _tkinter.c tkappinit.c -DWITH_APPINIT \

# *** Uncomment and edit to reflect where your Tcl/Tk headers are:
#	-I/usr/local/include \
	-I/vps/pkg/Linux/include \

# *** Uncomment and edit to reflect your Tcl/Tk versions:
#	-ltk8.2 -ltcl8.2 \
	-ltk8.4 -ltcl8.4 \

I can install python 2.3 (w/o changing Setup) w/o problems.
