Tkinter configuration on Digital Unix

[Frederic Giacometti]

I'm trying to run Tkinter on Digital Unix 4.0e, and I'm getting the
following problem:

- when building _tkinter.so with the the tcl and tk libs provided with
DU 4.0 (unknown version?): --> unsatisfied symbol Tcl_free

- when build _tkinter.so with tck8.1 and tk8.1 libs, that compiled from
the sources (tcl and tk tests are OK), I'm getting this:
--------------------------
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/home/fred/gui1.py", line 3, in ?
    widget = Label( None, text='Hello')
  File "/usr/local/lib/python1.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1412, in
__init__
    Widget.__init__(self, master, 'label', cnf, kw)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python1.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1080, in
__init__
    BaseWidget._setup(self, master, cnf)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python1.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1057, in
_setup
    _default_root = Tk()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python1.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 886, in
__init__
    self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className)
TclError: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:




This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

----------------------

Setting up the TCL_LIBRARY and TCLLIBPATH to /usr/local/lib/tcl8.1 does
not alter to the course of events, of course...

Any help ?  Is Tkinter validated with tcl8.1 ?

Thanks,
