I recently installed openSUSE 13.2.
I installed Python 3.5 and then discovered that I could not run idle3 because Tkinter could not be imported.
I thought I would then install ActiveTcl8.6 to resolve that problem. But that didn’t resolve the issue.
As I later learned, I used the wrong uninstall program which was unable to access the install log and therefore failed.
Anyway, I then saw some advice on the Internet that recommended
- Running the configure on Python3.5
- Running make and make install after downloading Tcl
- Running make and make install after downloading Tk
- Running make and make install on Python 3.5
I downloaded Tcl8.6 and TK8.6 and followed the instructions above except that I ran configures before the makes on Tcl and Tk also.
This still didn’t resolve my problem and the make on Python3.5 didn’t seem to go right in my estimation so…
I ran a make clean, make, and make install on Python3.5.
My problem still was not resolved.
In the way of research, I have found that the _tkinter.o module is located in a very strange-looking directory of home/garrett/Downloads/Python3.5.0/build/temp.linux-x86-64-3.5/home/garrett/Downloads/Python3.5.0/modules
I have searched the entire system and have found no trace of tkinter.py
I am wondering where this comes from and why it was not downloaded?
I would appreciate advice on how to proceed from here in order to get Tkinter installed successfully.
Thank you.
