Python 2.5 Installation and Tkinter

Thanks for the detailed reply.  I tried you suggestions regarding the
linking and they produce a new error message.

LD_RUN_PATH is set to /usr/local/lib.

I'm running this as root.  I've built numerous programs ofver the last
five days, all without a problem.  What am I missing on the Tkinter
inclusion?
