Dear list member,
I am using a Linux machine (Fedora Core 7, 64 bit):
Linux 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 #1 SMP Tue Jun 12 14:56:37 EDT 2007 x86_64
I tried to compile a software (ncvtk) with the simple command below
% python setup.py install
ERROR: could not import Tkinter.
You need python with Tk extensions enabled.
Check http://python.org.
Tcl/Tk libraries can be found at http://tcl.sourceforge.net/.
As the information said, I need a Python with Tk extensions enabled.
However, I could not figure out how to compile python with Tk extension,
I tried:
1- get the source codel tcl.8.5.1 and install
2- get the source code tk.8.5.1 and install
3- get the Python-2.5.2 source code and "cd Python-2.5.2"
4- type "./configure --enable-framework
5- make
gives the below error

Could you please help, how should I configure Python to enable Tk extension.
Thank you very much in advance,
