I did the following to resolve the errors, many errors
got resolved, but finally the python program is breaking
with different error.

I got the below errors when i invoked the python program -

[root at localhost processor]# Analyzer
       The python module Tkinter is not installed properly.
       Tkinter is required for this program.
  Redhat 9
        You need tkinter-2.2.2-26. This can be found on the Redhat
        install CD 3
        $ rpm -i /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/tkinter-2.2.2-26.i386.rpm


When i tried to install tkinter, i got the below errors -

[root at localhost karthik]# rpm -ivh tkinter-2.2.2-26.i386.rpm
    warning: tkinter-2.2.2-26.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature:
NOKEY,
    key ID db42a60e
    error: Failed dependencies:
           libtcl8.3.so is needed by tkinter-2.2.2-26.i386
           libtix8.1.8.3.so is needed by tkinter-2.2.2-26.i386
           libtk8.3.so is needed by tkinter-2.2.2-26.i386

To resolve the conflicts and bring up the python program.
I did the following -

I downloaded python-devel-2.2.2-26.i386.rpm &
python-2.2.2-26.i386.rpm.
[root at localhost karthik]# rpm -e --nodeps python-
devel-2.4.3-18.fc6.i386
[root at localhost karthik]# rpm -e --nodeps python-2.4.3-18.fc6
[root at localhost karthik]# rpm -ivh python-devel-2.2.2-26.i386.rpm
     warning: python-devel-2.2.2-26.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature:

[root at localhost karthik]# rpm -ivh python-2.2.2-26.i386.rpm
     warning: python-2.2.2-26.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature:
NOKEY, key ID db42a60e
     error: Failed dependencies:      libdb-4.0.so is needed by
python-2.2.2-26.i386

To resolve the above dependency error , i downloaded
db4-4.0.14-20.i386.rpm
But, i got the below errors while installing -

[root at localhost karthik]# rpm -ivh db4-4.0.14-20.i386.rpm
     warning: db4-4.0.14-20.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY,

     Preparing...
########################################### [100%]
     package db4-4.3.29-9.fc6 (which is newer than db4-4.0.14-20) is
already installed

To resolve the above error i did the following -

[root at localhost karthik]# rpm -e --nodeps db4-4.3.29-9.fc6.i386
[root at localhost karthik]# rpm -ivh db4-4.0.14-20.i386.rpm
     warning: db4-4.0.14-20.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY,
key ID db42a60e
     Preparing...
########################################### [100%]
     1:db4
########################################### [100%]

Now, i did the python-2.2.2-26.i386 installation.

[root at localhost karthik]# rpm -ivh python-2.2.2-26.i386.rpm
     warning: python-2.2.2-26.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature:
NOKEY, key ID db42a60e
     Preparing...
########################################### [100%]
        1:python
########################################### [100%]

As you would have noticed i linux spitted warning messages
during installations of various packages.
But, i wonder why i get the warnings and will those warnings
affect the working of python based programs ?

Further, finally when i invoke the python program by
giving the necessary input file, i get the following
errors .
Does it have any relation with the python version installed ?

[root at localhost processor]# Analyzer processorcycle
/usr/local/SDK/bin/../core/bin/processorlib.py:8
8: Warning: 'yield' will become a reserved keyword in the future
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/SDK/bin/Analyzer", line 48, in ?
    from debuglib import ProcessorInfo
  File "/usr/local/SDK/bin/../core/bin/processorlib.py", line 88
    yield ProcessorObjectInfo(child, self.pt)
                        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax



Any ideas ?

Thx in advans,
Karthik Balaguru
