I had also some problems with 2.3 on a debian,
with an 2.1 initially installed. If I remember
well, you must add the path to tk libs to
yous LD_LIBRARY_PATH  (not LD_RUN_PATH ??? I don't
know this variable anyway). Since I am rather
paranoid with paths I have lots of environ. variables
that point to all libs and progs in my system,
and I put all that stuff in PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
C_INCLUDE_PATH and MANPATH... I modify PYTHONPATH too.

Then you'll probably
have to rerun configure then make, because
the configure script looks for installed
libs (and tk !). I think it should work on
a Redhat 9. I have also installed Python on a
Redhat 8 some day, and I had many problems
with libraries not installed, but if you have
already Python 2.2, you won't have this problem.

Good luck !

Re: Rob,
Re:
Re: I just finished building python 2.3 on my redhat 9 laptop...  the first
 time I Re: did the make it failed (near the end) because it couldn't find
 the Tk/Tcl Re: libs.
Re:
Re:  On my system they are in /usr/local/lib (because I built them myself)
Re: on your's I guess they would be in /usr/lib.  So to fix the build I set
Re: LD_RUN_PATH to /usr/local/lib and them ran make again.
