Hi,

I am trying to build Python 2.6.1 (upgrade) on Ubuntu 8.10 in preparation for a class next week. When I try to build it from the source files I run into two problems.

                1. The first (resolved) was:
Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules: bsddb185 sunaudiodev I was able to reslove this by using a patch "python2.6-disable-old- modules.patch"


2. The second and currently un-resolvable issue is that the build fails to link in tkinter. I can't quite figure this one out, since I thought that this was part of Python.

*** WARNING: renaming "_tkinter" since importing it failed: libtk8.5.so.0:
                        cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
directory

                Failed to build these modules:
                _tkinter

                running build_scripts
                ar...@arana-linux:~/Desktop/Python-2.6.1$


Is there anyone out there that has figured out how to get this build to finish? I've kinda run out of tricks!

Arana
