Thanks, but that doesn't work. "make" still says it failed to build _tkinter, and after "make altinstall" it still picks up tck/tkl 8.4. Okay, now I'm making progress... if I remove the previously existing _tkinter in lib-dynload, and re-run "make", I get something new: building '_tkinter' extension gcc -pthread -fPIC -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall - Wstrict-prototypes -DWITH_APPINIT=1 -I/usr/X11/include -IInclude -I. -I./ Include -I/usr/local/include -I/tmp/Python-3.2.2 -c /tmp/Python-3.2.2/ Modules/_tkinter.c -o build/temp.linux-i686-3.2/tmp/Python-3.2.2/Modules/ _tkinter.o gcc -pthread -fPIC -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall - Wstrict-prototypes -DWITH_APPINIT=1 -I/usr/X11/include -IInclude -I. -I./ Include -I/usr/local/include -I/tmp/Python-3.2.2 -c /tmp/Python-3.2.2/ Modules/tkappinit.c -o build/temp.linux-i686-3.2/tmp/Python-3.2.2/Modules/ tkappinit.o gcc -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-i686-3.2/tmp/Python-3.2.2/Modules/ _tkinter.o build/temp.linux-i686-3.2/tmp/Python-3.2.2/Modules/tkappinit.o -L/usr/X11/lib -L/usr/local/lib -ltk8.5 -ltcl8.5 -lX11 -o build/lib.linux- i686-3.2/_tkinter.cpython-32m.so *** WARNING: renaming "_tkinter" since importing it failed: libtk8.5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Failed to build these modules: _tkinter -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
