Tix/Tk Module frustrations HELP!

[Jonathan S]

I try to make a root Tix window, yet to no avail:

>>> import Tix
>>> r = Tix.Tk()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/lib-tk/Tix.py", line 212, in __init__   
  self.tk.eval('package require Tix')
_tkinter.TclError: couldn't load file "/usr/lib/libtix":
/usr/lib/libtix.so: undefined symbol: XLowerWindow
>>> 

libtix.so is where it should be in /usr/lib, and the version (so far as I
can tell) is 4.1.8.3

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jonathan
