Redhat 7.0, python 2.0b2 and tcl-8.3.1-46 problem ...

[Arild Hansen]

Hello,

I try to install python 2.0b2 on a Redhat 7.0 distribution. When I installed
Redhat 7.0 I selected everything related to the Development sections
(packages). When trying to install Python 2.0b2 everything works fine. When
trying to install expat-1.1-1.i386.rpm everything works fine, BUT when I try
to install Tkinter-2.0-8.0.1.i386.rpm I get the following errors:

error: failes dependenies:

    libtcl8.0.so is needed by Tkinter-2.0-8.0.1

    libtk8.0.so is needed by Tkinter-2.0-8.0.1

So I install Tcl/Tk version 8.0.5 (tcl-8.0.5-35.i385.rpm) but then I get
several conflicts with the already installed (i.e. installed under the
installation of Redhat 7.0) tcl package being version tcl-8.3.1-46. In other
words, my system contains a new version of tcl that is not compatible /
recognized by python 2.0 beta 2 and when I try to install an older version
of tcl I am not allowd (yes, I know I can try rpm -U --force but this
conflicts with other packages depending on the new version of tcl). So, how
do I get python 2.0 beta 2 to work with tcl-8.3.1-46 ? Thx for all help,
