Tkinter on IRIX and Linux

[Aidan Finn]

Hi,
I just had this problem. When you compile python2.0 from source,
tkinter support is not included by default. you need to uncomment and edit the
parts of the module/setup file relevant to _tkinter. Check out the
tkinter section of the README file that comes with python2.0 for more
details.
Also, i had tk installed on my machine but still couldnt get tkinter
working. tk on my distribution was installed from an rpm and some
required header files were missing. After installing tcl and tk from
source, the python source installation with tkinter support worked fine.
