Re: **Fwd: Re: [Bkchem-user] UTF-8 in RedHat 9

[Beda Kosata]

Hi Per,
I have tried to install RedHat 9 into a virtual machine, however it is 
such a pain to work with the rpm system that I refused to continue further.
The interesting thing in your post is that you installed tkinter-2.2.2. 
Normally, there is no such package when you compile from source as 
tkinter comes with python (when you have tk/tcl installed). Was this a 
rpm? In this case I would try to remove it (and recompile python if 
necessary). This could be the hacked tkinter I have read about on the net.
Otherwise I am completely clueless about where the problem could result 
from :(
Sorry
