Tkinter just WON'T work right!
Sorry to be so inspecific about my subject =) Also, I'm sure this
question is asked frequently, but I couldn't find what I was looking for
in any of the 1400 or so messages here (too many of them start with
``Help!'' or ``Python Newbie''). Anyway, here it is:

I tried to use the Grail browser under Slackware 4.0 and Python 1.5.1. I
got the error saying it's not configured for Tkinter, so I went into my
/usr/lib/python1.5/config/Setup file and uncommented the appropriate
stuff.

I tried again, same problem. I read a bit more, and it said I have to
rebuild Python to add Tkinter (don't remember having to do that before).
So, argh, I tried to do that. Now I get an error when I use 'make'
saying there's an error when it gets to sedscript.

Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

Have just gotten grail.py to work on my COL2.2 Linux installation.
Spent hours trying to remake python for tk/tcl and then found out
that for COL2.2, it was already done. tk8.0 and tc.8.0 are required.
grail package has two errors or had at the time I got it 2 weeks back.
Start python and see if you can import Tkinter. We can talk in
e-mail as I am not a programmer and am only interested in grail
as a browser for another OS.
