[Pythonmac-SIG] progress report...Tkinter no go with xfree86 either

[Russell E Owen]

I installed xfree86 using XonX's new installer "XFree86_4.2.0.1-10.2" 
for MacOS 10.2. That went fine. My OroborOSX was already current so I 
left it alone. I'd also already installed gnu readlines as per Dan 
Wolfe's helpful posting.

I then build Python 2.2.1 using
% make clean
% make
% sudo make install
I don't recall seeing any outright errors, but did not save the 
output. The results are a Python that supports readlines (yaay), but 
that does NOT have Tkinter support. I get the usual error about 
failure to load _tkinter.

I'm really surprised; I was sure this would work. Now I'm really 
stuck. Is there any way to get Python 2.2.1 to work with Tkinter 
under Jaguar?
