Hrm, I forgot about this problem since I compiled sys-devel/python on a system without tcl-tk or X. > ldd /usr/bin/python libreadline.so.4.1 => /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.1 (0x4001b000) libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x40041000) libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x4006e000) libdb-3.1.so => /usr/lib/libdb-3.1.so (0x400b2000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x4012a000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x40138000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4014d000) libutil.so.1 => /lib/libutil.so.1 (0x40150000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40153000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40171000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) I know this may sound weird at first, but I'd rather disable X11 and tcl/tk support in sys-devel/python, and create a *third* python optional package -- python-x11. I don't want to force people to install Xfree86 and tcl/tk just so they can get a reasonably complete python implementation. This kind of thing would be a pain for people who are setting up a server without X at all, but need a complete python to run their scripts. Or, we can simply tell people that if you want X and tcl-tk support in your python, just remerge sys-devel/python after you have X and tcl-tk installed. the python configure program will detect that they're there, and link against the new libraries. Of course, then we need a transparent method for you so that when you're building packages, your sys-devel/python isn't linked against X and tcl-tk stuff and will work on a base system. -- Daniel Robbins President/CEO http://www.gentoo.org Gentoo Technologies, Inc.
