Description Colin Macdonald 2006-08-05 22:58:46 UTC 
Here's an easy one: when emerging matplotlib:

 * checking matplotlib-0.87.4.tar.gz ;-) ...                                                         [ ok ]
 * You need to recompile python with Tkinter support.
 * That means: 'dev-lang/python X tcltk'
 * in /etc/portage/package.use

But:

[ebuild   R   ] dev-lang/python-2.4.3-r1  USE="berkdb gdbm ncurses readline ssl -bootstrap -build -doc -ipv6 -nocxx -tk -ucs2" 0 kB

So the matplotlib message should be about use tk not use tcltk.

BTW, the same in python.eclass - python_tkinter_exists()
