    Thanks. You're right... I don't have tk-dev installed. duh.  And I 
have choices to make...  it looks like setup.py is looking for 8.4 
headers; I have TclTk 8.5x installed.  From the standard repository it 
looks like I can download and install tk-dev (dependency package) and|or 
tk-dev 8.3, or 8.4, or 8.5...   and I am not sure which of these is what 
is needed without causing other problems.  Can 8.4 and 8.5 be installed 
together without problem?  Does it really matter which of these I use 
for the purpose of python build?  If I have TclTk 8.5 installed should I 
only download the 8.5 tk-dev package?

    sorry for being so dense... and I'm definitely over three... way too 
tough for eating or anything like that      :}



kind regards,
