[Python-Dev] building Tcl/Tk to deploy on other platforms? (original) (raw)

I built Python 2.5.2 on RedHat3 and wrapped it up with some other stuff that was deployed on RedHat4. When trying to fire up Idle on RedHat4, there is an error that states a usable init.tcl cannot be found.

Python is built on RedHat3 against Tcl/Tk 8.3, so even installing Tcl/Tk on RedHat4 would not work, as it is 8.4.

I've noticed when Python is installed on Windows, all the necessary stuff is also installed in the Python25 directory. Is there a similar way to do this on linux?

Thanks, -Chris
