Denis I allways add this to the Setup file in Modules before building Python
you will have to look at the man pages for ld - cause I can't remember what 
it does....  I think it adds /usr/local/lib to the 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' at run 
time, so you don't have to.


# *** Always uncomment this (leave the leading underscore in!):
 _tkinter _tkinter.c tkappinit.c -DWITH_APPINIT \
# *** Uncomment and edit to reflect where your Tcl/Tk libraries are:
        -R/usr/local/lib \
        -L/usr/local/lib \
