All I can say is over the years, sometimes the variables need to be defined and sometime they don't. Since I'm not a tkinter user, I never fully investigate why. So why did I have _tkinter with 2.3.3.r2 and not with 2.3.4r1?! Due to an unexpected day off, I built Python 2.3.4-1 on a machine that I haven't used to build Cygwin packages in quite some time. Unfortunately when I updated its Cygwin installation to the latest, I missed the xorg-x11-devel package which prevented _tkinter from being built. I'm building 2.3.4-2 *with* _tkinter right now...

RE: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated cygwin Package: python-2.3.4-1
Hello from Gregg C Levine It happens I did just that, the first few times I tried downloading my Cygwin materials from sites here in the US. The people there ignored my mail, or just plain deleted it unread. I don't know why. I also reported to them the problems with downloading the materials from them, when the site would inexplicably interrupt the process. What do you feel about deleting them from the list of allowable mirrors? We can include the alternate mirror of course. --- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Force will be with you...Always.

It is just an outdated URL in Jason's email. The best we could hope for is that that directory would be deleted on their server. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
