Setting up Tix

[Bob C]

I get the following message when tryin to setup Tix on Linux rh7.3:

>>> import Tix
>>> root = Tix.Tk()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/lib-tk/Tix.py", line 210, in __init__
    self.tk.eval('package require Tix')
_tkinter.TclError: couldn't load file "/usr/lib/libtix":
/usr/lib/libtix.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
>>> 

I have libtix8.1.8.4.a and libtix8.1.8.4.so in /usr/local/lib.  I
guess I'm not sure how to set the varibles to correctly point at the
/usr/local directory.
