heh, well in that case, go and download python-devel-1.5.2-*.rpm and
do
# rpm -U tkinter-1.5.2-13.i386.rpm python-1.5.2-13.i386.rpm python-devel-1.5.2-*.rpm
and if that has failed dependencies, download what's required and
hit up arrow a few times and ... keep downloading and adding to this
command line until there's no more conflicts ...
oh well, I tried to be nice and stick up for RPM. I still maintain its
the second best packaging system in the industry, its pretty good in
general ;)
Of course, under debian you'd just do
# apt-get install tkinter
and it would download and install the latest versions of everything
required, and subsequently (next week/month/year) whenever you do
# apt-get upgrade
all these packages, along with everything else you have on your
system, would get upgraded appropriately.
<sigh> :)
