So I installed tcl832 into E:\Python-2.0\Tcl and then tried to use VC++ 6.0 to
build the _tkinter module, but I got:

> --------------------Configuration: _tkinter - Win32 Release--------------------
> Compiling...

> E:\Python-2.0\Modules\_tkinter.c(44) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'tcl.h': No such file or directory

> Error executing cl.exe.
> 
> _tkinter.pyd - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

cheers,

Chris
