[Fink-users] Python2.2.3 and _tkinter.c

[nettles]

Hello, 

I'm trying to run some python code that makes use of tk and have hit the error - 

File "/sw/lib/python2.2/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 35, in ?
import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ImportError: Failure linking new module

That error originally came when I was using the prebuilt  tcltk 8.4.1 and python 2.2.3-23, so I tried rebuilding from source. 

When compiling I hit -

Clearly it needs to be looking in /sw/lib, but I haven't yet found where this is being set. Can anyone give me some help on this? 

Thanks,
