To build from source with Tkinter, you'll need to install Tcl/Tk first. Many Linux distributions split up Python, so that the interpreter package doesn't depend on Tk and X11 being installed. Debian GNU/Linux has a "python-tk" package. I'm sure there is an equivalent package in RHEL. You'll just have to find, it, and install. -- Thomas > > I tried reinstall the entire python-2.4.4.tar, followed instructions > (./configure, make, make install) -- this did not fix Tkinter. > > Question 2 > ======== > Can some one post a URL (or a sample module itself) that shows how to > write basic TCP socket application?
