broke tkinter

[Philippe C. Martin]

Hi,

I decided to clean my system and rebuild python from scratch.

I downloaded tk8.4.9, tcl8.4.9 and Python2-4.tar.bz2.

I installed tcl then tk using './configure --prefix=/usr'

tkcvs is now working OK


trying to compile python (configure = './configure --prefix=/usr', I get
this:


In file included
from /home/philippe/downloaded/Python-2.4/Modules/_tkinter.c:67:
/usr/include/tk.h:337: error: syntax error before "CONST84"
In file included from /usr/include/tk.h:1576,

from /home/philippe/downloaded/Python-2.4/Modules/_tkinter.c:67:

Any clue!

Regards,

Philippe

Phillipp,
Might you be getting the wrong header file/tk version?

http://wiki.tcl.tk/3669 talks about it.
