Preparing sqlite, dl and tkinter for Python installation (no admin rights)

[James Jong]

I managed to compile sqlite with:

CPPFLAGS='-I/path_to_sqlite-3.7.16.2/include -I/path_to_tk8.6.0/include'

DFLAGS='-L/path_to_sqlite-3.7.16.2/lib -L/path_to_tk8.6.0/lib/'
./configure --prefix=/path_to_python-2.7.4 --enable-shared

However, _tkinter is still failing. I don't know what else to try. Any
thoughts?

Thanks,

James
