Ok I took this to mean --disable-python your ./configure has to be broken and tried to build it with python. It complained about not having tk support in python so I recompiled python and then everything that required it. Not fun. For my trouble I now have the same issue using --disable-python flag. With out that flag I get another issue. This is the end of my config checking for msgfmt... /usr/bin/msgfmt checking for --tcl support in msgfmt... yes checking for Python support... yes checking python version... OK checking version of python libraries... python2.7 checking match between tk and Tkinter versions... 8.5 checking location of Python header files... /usr/include/python2.7 checking for Python headers... -I/usr/include/python2.7 checking for Python libraries... -lpthread -ldl -lutil checking whether the Boost::Python headers are available... yes checking for boost::python shared library... configure: error: boost::python is required to build LinuxCNC What package is boost::python from?
