Hi, I just tried to run Tkinter on OS X 10.3.9 under Python 2.4.3, and I'm getting a bus error as soon as I call Tk(). Googling has turned up info other Tkinter bus errors, but not this one that occurs right away, before doing anything fancy.
Tk/Tcl is definitely installed on my computer, as verified by running "wish" and seeing the window come up. "info patchlevel" returns 8.4.5. Here's the tail of the output from python -v: Python 2.4.3 (#1, Mar 30 2006, 11:02:15) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5250)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. import readline # dynamically loaded from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/readline.so >>> from Tkinter import * # /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.pyc has bad mtime import Tkinter # from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py # wrote /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.pyc import _tkinter # dynamically loaded from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/_tkinter.so # /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkconstants.pyc matches /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkconstants.py import Tkconstants # precompiled from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkconstants.pyc import MacOS # dynamically loaded from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/MacOS.so >>> root = Tk() Bus error Any suggestions? Is this an Aqua vs. X11 issue? Many thanks, Ben Kovitz -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
