[gentoo-user] Tkinter, where ?

[gentoo-user] Tkinter, where ?

[alain.didierjean]

I just installed Scribus and plays with it. Some of its scrips need tkinter to
execute.
Tkinter seems ignored by portage. Quite surprising. Is there a gentoo way to
install it ?

Put tk in your USE line in make.conf and then re-emerge python.

Note, you may have to re-emerge Scribus, not real sure on that one.  You
could always try it first I guess and if it doesn't work, re-emerge it then.

Hope that helps.

It is ignored by portage as the scribus ebuild has no tk use flag which
should probably implemented. With this use flag portage will complain
about missing tkinter and advises you to reinstall python with tkinter
support.

I had this kind of problem with another package before.

Time to fill a bug!

Glad to have helped.  This is something I have ran into before.

Same here.  Do you plan to file this bug?  I don't have the error, I
suspect you don't either and I would imagine the OP doesn't either now
that it is working.

It does need to be fixed though.

This only affects users who don`t have the tk use flag set for python
and want to use the scribus font sampler script. As such things should
automatically treated by portage, there should be filed a bug.

I don't use scribus myself, but i can file the bug. I don`t think it is
a big thing to fix, just introduce the tk use flag in the ebuild and and
add a check whether python is built with the tk use flag.

There are also other things in the ebuild which i think they should be
fixed. I will report here when the bug is ready.

Regards,

Daniel

It doesn't matter to me who files the bug.  I just think it needs to be
filed so that it can be fixed before it causes more trouble and is
harder to fix.  I just didn't want to search, then file one, us both
file it at about the same time and end up with a duplicate bug.

Thanks
