Description Dan O'Donovan 2006-04-03 12:30:37 UTC 
Description of problem:
base Python rpm doesn't appear to be configured to use tkinter

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-2.4.2-3.2.1

How reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run > python /usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py
  
Actual results:
Error-

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 38, in ?
    import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ImportError: libTix8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Expected results:
Import library Tkinter without complaint

Additional info:
Sorry if this is a requested feature and not a bug, python tkinter support was
in previous FC releases.
Comment 1 Dan O'Donovan 2006-04-06 13:22:28 UTC 
Alternative Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start python
2. >>> import Tkinter
Comment 2 Dan O'Donovan 2006-04-06 15:06:51 UTC 
Quick Fix:

Python or Tkinter looks for libTix8.4.so which lives in /usr/lib/Tix8.4 and
isn't in the default library path. I added a dynamic link in /usr/lib from
libTix8.4.so to Tix8.4/libTix8.4.so ... is this bad? 

I'm sorry I don't quite know where to file this, or if it's a genuine bug. 

Many thanks, Dan
