tkinter question...

[Fernando]

Well,
Here is what I get:

[root at exodus lib-dynload]# uname -a
Linux exodus 2.6.5 #1 Fri Apr 30 13:52:04 CDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

[root at exodus lib-dynload]# pwd
/usr/local/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload

[root at exodus lib-dynload]# ldd _tkinter.so
ldd: ./_tkinter.so: No such file or directory

[root at exodus lib-dynload]# rpm -q tk
tk-8.3.5-93

[root at exodus lib-dynload]# rpm -q tcl
tcl-8.3.5-93

[root at exodus lib-dynload]#

Thanks!
Fernando,
