My processor is a 32 bit Athlon from about 5 or 6 years ago. The Tkinter was built along with python and I did one particular sed: sed -i 's|# -ltk8.2 -ltcl8.2| -ltk8.4 -ltcl8.4|' Setup.dist so python would look for the version of tcl/tk that I have. I'll review that whole process later and report back if I find something interesting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Just want to follow up with you on the results. Since my Xorg 7.2 is installed in /usr, I found that the original installation of Python and Tkinter needed some changes to Modules/Setup.dist. I used the following sed's: sed -i 's|# _tkinter| _tkinter|' Setup.dist ---to enable tkinter sed -i 's|# -L/usr/local| -L/usr|' Setup.dist ---to locate tcl/tk libs sed -i 's|# -I/usr/local| -I/usr|' Setup.dist ---to locate tcl/tk headers sed -i 's|# -L/usr/X11R6| -L/usr|' Setup.dist ---to locate X11 libs sed -i 's|# -I/usr/X11R6| -I/usr|' Setup.dist ---to locate X11 headers sed -i 's|# -ltk8.2 -ltcl8.2| -ltk8.4 -ltcl8.4|' Setup.dist ---for correct version sed -i 's|# -lX11| -lX11|' Setup.dist ---required to build tkinter So I completely removed python, numpy, mpl, etc and reinstalled everything, including the GTK requirements that got me going last time. The installed matplotlibrc called for the GTKAgg backend and that worked. But when I changed that to call for TkAgg, the same thing happened as last time (the window appears briefly and then segfaults). So I'm puzzled but at least I have a working installation with GTK.
