[Tkinter-discuss] Problem when installing python with tkinter module

[Michael Lange]

Hi,

I know it is not exactly what you have been asking, but aren't there any
precompiled rpm packages for your redhat system available?
And, if not, why do you edit the setup file? For me always a simple
./configure && make && make install worked fine. Have you already tried this,
and if yes, what went wrong?
