IDLE doesn't run on OSX 10.3.9

[thomascribbs at gmail.com]

Now I downloaded the latest Python 2.6 that came out yesterday, and
also downloaded the latest ActiveTcl...

I run a Terminal, cd /usr/local/bin, and type "idle2.6"...get this
error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/
idle2.6", line 5, in <module>
    main()
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/
python2.6/idlelib/PyShell.py", line 1382, in main
    root = Tk(className="Idle")
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/
python2.6/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1645, in __init__
    self._loadtk()
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/

    % (_tkinter.TK_VERSION, tk_version)
RuntimeError: tk.h version (8.4) doesn't match libtk.a version (8.5)


Thanks for any help.
