To get a full build of Python 2.6 ( or Python 3, for that matter) you
need to install the following packages:
libsqlite3-dev libreadline5-dev libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev
libssl-dev libgdbm-dev tk-dev
This will give you a working IDLE...

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!
