py25-tkinter build failure

[macri.lucas@…]

Hi,

I installed python 2.5 without problems, then tried to install py25-tkinter and got this error:

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Interestingly, I changed directories to the path listed above, executed "/opt/local/bin/python2.5 setup.py build" and had no problems. Then I just issued "port install py25-tkinter" again and the installation completed without a hitch. The module is working.

Perhaps there is a typo in the command that "port" tried to execute?

Cheers,

This is the ​Leopard TCL bug at work. Generally the solution is to clean the port that failed and try again. In this case:

sudo port clean py25-tkinter
sudo port install py25-tkinter

[(none)]
