Or rather the *.h files ?) are present somewhere and setup.py uses these instead of the correct 8.5-files. I admit that I don't know the "official" way to handle this either, it should definitely be possible somehow. However, at least with Python-2.7.2 when trying to pass --with-tk and --with-tcl to configure I get: # ./configure --with-tk=/foo --with-tcl=/bar configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-tk, --with-tcl so it is no surprise that these don't have any effect. After this configure runs smoothly, so maybe you just missed this error message? Regards Michael .-.. .. ...- . .-.. --- -. --. .- -. -.. .--. .-. --- ... .--. . .-. "What happened to the crewman?"
