How do that correctly? Thanks for any help. K.D.J. In my post I forgot to mention that I am running PY under Debian Buster. As suggested by Ned Deily I switched to PY 3.8.5 After some more research in the internet I found that the tcl/tk libraries have automaticalle been installed during the Buster installation. For automatically including tkinter during the PY installation one needs also the 'tk-dev toolkit'. With that I did not need the options '--with-tcltk-libs'/'--with-tcltk-includes' After the installation of PY 3.8.5 I can import tkinter. Thank you very much for your replies.

Are you sure the libs you need (presumably libtcl8.6.so and libtk8.6.so) are both in /opt/ActiveTcl-8.6/lib/tcl8.6? Or where are they actually? Presumably not in /opt/ActiveTcl-8.6/lib since that didn't work. Could be something else too. You may need to dig into setup.py and the configure script. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Without knowing exactly how the /opt/ActiveTcl-8.6 directory is laid out, we can only guess at what the right options should be. The basic idea is that there needs to be one or more -I entries that covers the top-level directory(ies) with Tcl and Tk include files and for the libraries there needs to be a -L entry for the directory and a -l entry for the name of the shared library (minus the "lib" prefix), assuming Tcl and Tk were built with --enable-shared. Usually both libraries are installed into the same directory, in which case you only need one -L as above. If they do not have a common parent, you would need to specify each separately, like -L/libtclparent -l tcl8.6 -L/libtkparent -ltk8.6. If that doesn't help, you could display the show the contents of the include and directories here: ls -l /opt/ActiveTcl-8.6/include /opt/ActiveTcl-8.6/lib Also exactly what platform are you building on? And, btw, Python 3.8.5 is now current. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Does it say "no"? THen you can analyse the config.log file what happened. In order to compile Tk extensions, you need X11 development headers. Maybe that is one problem.
