Python 2.5 install on Gentoo Linux: failed dmb and _tkinter

[Sorin Schwimmer]

Hi All,

After a disaster in which I lost my whole harddrive,
I decided to install the newest everything that I use.
I put the latest Gentoo Linux, with gcc 4.1.1,
installed
tcl/tk 8.4.14 and tried Python 2.5. I tried with and
without the suggested -fwrapv compiler option, and
make
gave me the same:

<code>

-pthread -fwrapv -shared' OPT='-DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall

\
*) CC='gcc -pthread -fwrapv' LDSHARED='gcc -pthread
-fwrapv -shared' OPT='-DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes' ./python -E ./setup.py build;; \

I have libtk:

<code>
# ls -l /usr/local/lib/libtk8.4.so
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 906285 Jan 10 16:08
/usr/local/lib/libtk8.4.so
</code>

I can start wish.

I need Tkinter for sure, and I'll like to have dbm.
How should I proceed?

Thanks for your advice,
Sorin

Did you add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf?
