Re: yum installs Tkinter in a way visible to only one python installation

Rahul <nospam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> writes:

My RHEL yum package-manager comes with Python-2.4.3. We also have a
seperate Python-2.4.4 Installation on our box.

When I added Tkinter using 'yum install tkinter' it seems to have added it
in a manner that it is exclusively visible to Python-2.4.3. I cannot import
Tkinter from Python-2.4.4.

What's the best way to work around this?

The best way is uninstall 2.4.4.

If you install one thing outside package management, don't expect
other things to work with it.

You probably have something like this on your system:

/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/_tkinter.so

You could find the equivalent place in /usr/local (if thats where
you have 2.4.4) and create a soft link.
No guarantee that it will work though.
