Cannot build 2.5 on FC6 x86

[Paul Watson]

../configure
make
make test

The result appears to hang after the test_tkl... line. I had to kill
the 'make test' process which terminated it. Any suggestions?

There isn't (or shouldn't be) any "test_tkl..." line. What precisely
was the line, and how long did you wait until you thought it hangs?

Sorry, I mis-typed. It is not test_tkl. It was test_tcl...

The last line output was as shown below my mistyping.

I let it sit overnight one time.

FWIW, this is my experience.

I installed 2.5 on FC6 a few weeks ago, and it has been running with no
problems.

I ran 'make test' now, and this is what I got.

Near the top of the output, I saw the following message -
INFO: Can't locate Tcl/Tk libs and/or headers

When it got to test_tcl, it showed the following message -
test_tcl skipped -- No module named _tkinter

At the end, it showed the following -
284 tests OK.
35 tests skipped:
[snip details]
1 skip unexpected on linux2:
test_tcl

It ran to the end without stopping.

Hope this may be of some help in diagnosis.

The only suggestion then is that you (or somebody else) would need to
debug the interpreter to find out what is happening - this specific
behaviour is not supposed to happen.
