[Pythonmac-SIG] IDLE on Python-2.6 release version

[Rajanikanth Jammalamadaka]

Thanks for your reply Kevin. I installed Tk 8.5 but now I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/idle",
line 5, in <module>
    main()
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/idlelib/PyShell.py",
line 1382, in main
    root = Tk(className="Idle")
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-tk/Tkinter.py",
line 1645, in __init__
    self._loadtk()
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-tk/Tkinter.py",
line 1659, in _loadtk
    % (_tkinter.TK_VERSION, tk_version)
RuntimeError: tk.h version (8.4) doesn't match libtk.a version (8.5)


Also, when I try to build python 2.6 from source, I get this error:

Objects/longobject.c: In function 'PyLong_FromLong':
Objects/longobject.c:101: error: non-trivial conversion at assignment
abs_ival
ival
abs_ival = -ival;

Objects/longobject.c:101: internal compiler error: verify_gimple failed
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.
make: *** [Objects/longobject.o] Error 1


Thanks,

Rajanikanth
