Tix cannot open /usr/share/libtix

[dadapapa@gmx.net]

Hi,

I have a problem getting Tix to run:

Python 2.4.1 (#2, Aug 17 2005, 10:19:59)
[GCC 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright" , "credits" or "license" for more information.[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> import Tix
>>> t = Tix.Tk()[/color][/color][/color]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/projects/EES_dev/haroldf/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tix.py",
line 210, in __init__
self.tk.eval('p ackage require Tix')
_tkinter.TclErr or: couldn't load file "/usr/share/libtix8.1.8.3.s o":
/usr/share/libtix8.1.8.3.s o: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>>[/color][/color][/color]

libtix is not in /usr/share/ but I located it in /usr/lib/

[haroldf@tlc dpd]$ locate libtix8.1.8.3.s o
warning: locate: warning: database /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db' is more
than 8 days old
/usr/lib/libtix8.1.8.3.s o
[haroldf@tlc dpd]$

is there any way to tell python/tkinter/tix where to look for the
library?
thanks,

Try (un)setting TIX_LIBRARY.
