Python and Tk: Error on Memory Access

[Markus Franke]

Hi,

i have a problem using Tk with python. Here is a simple script:

import Tkinter
root=Tkinter.Tk ()
button=Tkinter. Button(root,tex t="Click")
button.pack()

I can see a Window with a Button in it. But the problem now
is that every time I enter the Button with the Mouse-Arrow,
the Program stops with a "Failure on Memory Access"...
in German "Speicherzugrif fsverletzung".

I have tried several versions of python, Tk and Tkinter but
without success.

My System:

Red Hat 9(Severn), Kernel 2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.n ptl
python 2.2.3 / I tried also version 2.3.2
Tk-8.3.5-88
Tkinter 2.2.3-26

Hope anyone can help me.

Thanx,

Markus

On Redhat 9, you should either use the packages that the
system vendor provides, or you should compile Python yourself.
Installing a foreignly-built Python is likely to give problems
with Tk.

I have already installed the packages for Red Hat 9, but the Error
still comes. Could this be perhaps a problem of my Developer-Kernel.
