I cannot yet get tkinter working on 2.4.2. I have installed the tk rpms
from FC4. I have checked to see that TKPATH is available in
Modules/Setup.
How can I verify that I have tcl/tk installed correctly and it is the
correct version (8+)?
Surely, there must be a better way to do this than what I ended up
doing. Please respond so that someone will do better than I did.
To get this to work, I whacked the ./Modules/Setup file references to tk
things. Two lines were changed from /usr/local/* to /usr/*. The X11
lines were simply uncommented.
I had to install a few more RPMs from the FC4 CDs for tk and tcl. That
led to installing some more xorg-x11 RPMs.
After that, ./configure; make clean; make; make test;
