Good guess.  I fixed that but the problem persists.

Maybe it is just a typo, the shebang should point to

I recently did a new install of RedHat 9.  The version of Python and tk
are standard with Redhat 9 (python v 2.2.3-26 and tk-8.3.1-45mlx). I
don't have multiple version installed

I have also heard of people having

I may be way off base here but is it possible that it has something to
do with the version of gcc installed.  Redhat 9 includes both
gcc-3.2.2-5v and gcc296. I know that many of Python's libraries are
written in c and I've been having trouble compiling c code too.  If this
is the problem, how do I correct it?
