Dear list member,

I am using a Linux machine (Fedora Core 7, 64 bit):
Linux 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 #1 SMP Tue Jun 12 14:56:37 EDT 2007 x86_64

I tried the compile the a softeare (ncvtk) with the simple command below

% python setup.py install

ERROR: could not import Tkinter.
You need python with Tk extensions enabled.
Check http://python.org.
Tcl/Tk libraries can be found at http://tcl.sourceforge.net/.


As the imformation said, I need a Python with Tk extensions enabled. 
However, I could not figure out how to compile python with Tk extension, 
I tried:

1- get the source codel tcl.8.5.1 and install
2- get the source code	tk.8.5.1 and install
3- get the Python-2.5.2 source code and "cd Python-2.5.2"
4- type "./configure --enable-framework
5- make

gives the below error

Could you please help, how should I configure Python to enable Tk extension.

Thank you very much in advance,
