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.
Alternative Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start python 2. >>> import Tkinter
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
