[Tutor] TKinter and things over Linux

[Alberto Troiano]

Hey
Let me know if this format is better (I use Hotmail in the web so...)

Sadly I'm not in the linux machine so I can't run the command you sent me 
but I shall explain the version just so you know

The fullname version is Red Hat Advanced Server 3.0. This is a commercial 
version of Linux
But it has so many problems and so few documentation that I switched to Red 
Hat 9.0 (I think that you're familiar with this version)

I have installed tcl and tk support and I will download and install the 
anthony's RPMs
What can I do to make Tkinter work on Linux Red Hat 9.0??????????

Thanks in advanced

Alberto
