Newbie Prob : IDLE can't import Tkinter

[Romain FEUILLETTE]

Hello,

I'have just install Python 2.5.1 on Linux and the IDLE doesn't seem to
works because it didn't find Tcl/Tk

Is there someone to explain how to modify the file "setup.py"
to tell the install that Tcl/Tk are at the paht : "/usr/bin/tclsh" and
"usr/bin/wish/" ?

I have attached to log file of my terminal.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Romain

Hello,

I'have just install Python 2.5.1 on Linux and the IDLE doesn't seem to
works because it didn't find Tcl/Tk

Perhaps you haven't installed Tkinter?

I'm not sure which distribution you are using, but on my box (with
Python2.4 installed) the relevant package is tkinter-2.4.4-1.fc6.rpm.
