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.
Then you have to set the TCL_LIBRARY environment variable, it should point to the directory that contains the correct init.tcl file. If it then complains about not finding tk.tcl, then you have to set the TK_LIBRARY env var too.
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?
Adjust the TCL_LIBRARY and TK_LIBRARY as needed.
Thanks, -Chris
