That's your problem. Either drop back to tcl/tk 8.0, or may try

Hi All

I installed py1.5.2 with tcl/tk.8.1 on SuSE6.1 Linux.

After:

import Tkinter
Tkinter._test()

I get the following error, which I do not unerstand:

-----cut
>>python
Python 1.5.2 (#4, Jul 4 1999, 12:25:56) [GCC egcs-2.91.66 19990314

self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className)
TclError: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:

This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.
----cut

It seems, that python looks in some directories, which it does not
have. What do I have to do?

Thanks, Per.
