Hi
I'm trying to compile python with Tk support on Red Hat Linux with
Python 2.3a2.
I have built and installed tcl 8.4 and tk 8.4, but when I try and make
Python I get:
./python: error while loading shared libraries: libtk8.4.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
However this file does exist in /usr/local/lib/libtk8.4.so
I have uncommented the _tkinter lines in the Modules/Setup file, but I
can't work out why this isn't working. I also have Python 2.2.1
installed, but I am trying to install the latest version to
/home/darren/python2.3 using ./configure
--prefix=/home/darren/python2.3
I would appreciate any advice to help sort this problem out.
Regards
Darren
