I have some problems when trying to install python on a
HPUX 10.20 system.
All seems to go well during the compiling and during
the installation process, but when I try to use tkinter
in my new python with an "import _tkinter", i have the
following lines :

I have a python1.5/tkinter that works with tcl/tk 8.0p2...
When trying to compile with this version of tcl/tk, i
had errors with the tkinter module compilation.
Then, I tried to compile a tcl/tk 8.4.2, or even use a
binary-package of a tcl/tk 8.2.1, but in both cases I
have the above errors when running...

The problem appears to be that -lm (ie the math library)
needs to be linked, but is not.  I do not have access to a
10.20 machine.  It also looks like the tcl library may not
be found.  Perhaps there's a library search problem?  Jayce,
if you could produce a patch that works for you, I can check
in a fix.

After different tries, I found that adding "-L/usr/lib -lm"
as parameters of "ld -b" solved THIS problem...

But I still have a problem... Now, when laucnhing
Tkinter._test(), I have the error message  :
"/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: __udivdi3 (code)  from
/usr/local/lib/libtcl8.4.sl"
And a core dumped...
I have compiled tcl/tk without threads, and python without
threads too...

OK, all works now...
Here are what I need to modify :
In the Makefile of tcl 8.4.2 and in the Makefile of tk 8.4.2 :
SHLIB_LD                = gcc -shared -fPIC
LD_SEARCH_FLAGS =

In the Makefile of Python :
LDSHARED=       ld -b -L/usr/lib -lm
-L/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20/egcs-2.91
.60 -lgcc
BLDSHARED=      ld -b -L/usr/lib -lm
-L/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20/egcs-2.91
.60 -lgcc

This modification cannot go into the CVS: Hard-coding the
path for egcs is not acceptable.

Are you interested in developing a proper patch, or are you
satisfied with the solution that works for you?

Closing it as "won't fix"; the submitter apparently is happy
with the suggested work-around.
