Thanks for the detailed reply. I tried you suggestions regarding the linking and they produce a new error message. gcc -shared build/temp.solaris-2.10-i86pc-2.5/export/home/rhancock/download/install/Python-2.5/Modules/_tkinter.o build/temp.solaris-2.10-i86pc-2.5/export/home/rhancock/download/install/Python-2.5/Modules/tkappinit.o -L/usr/openwin/lib -L/usr/local/lib -ltk8.4 -ltcl8.4 -lX11 -o build/lib.solaris-2.10-i86pc-2.5/_tkinter.so *** WARNING: renaming "_tkinter" since importing it failed: ld.so.1: python: fatal: libtk8.4.so: open failed: No such file or directory running build_scripts creating build/scripts-2.5 Yet a ls of /usr/loca/lib shows the file exists: drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 512 Sep 27 03:37 . drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 512 Sep 27 03:28 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 626 Sep 27 02:31 charset.alias -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 786320 Sep 27 03:35 libtcl8.4.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2292 Sep 27 03:35 libtclstub8.4.a -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 977116 Sep 27 03:37 libtk8.4.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3548 Sep 27 03:37 libtkstub8.4.a drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 512 Sep 27 03:35 tcl8.4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7254 Sep 27 03:35 tclConfig.sh drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 1024 Sep 27 03:37 tk8.4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3566 Sep 27 03:37 tkConfig.sh LD_RUN_PATH is set to /usr/local/lib.
