Compiling Python on Solaris 7

Hi all,

I am having a problem building pythne for Solaris 7 & NetBSD.  

I have built "vanilla" python on both these platforms.

My problems begin when I try to add the tkinter stuff.


After adjusting the Setup file and then running make 
I get the following message:



cd Modules;  make OPT="-g -O2" VERSION="1.5" \
                prefix="/usr/local" exec_prefix="/usr/local" \
                LIBRARY=../libpython1.5.a link
gcc   python.o \
          ../libpython1.5.a -L/usr/local/lib -ltk8.2 -ltcl8.2 -L/usr/openwin/lib
-lX11  -lsocket -lnsl -ldl -lm  -o python 
Undefined                       first referenced

Py_Main                             python.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to python
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `link'
Current working directory /opt/home/andrewh/src/python/Python-1.5.2/Modules
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `python'

I have just done the same on the NetBSD box, so I can at least start to learn
the language.  However Solaris is going to be my target so I need to get this
going.  

Any help will be much apreciated.
