Description Michael Boman 2002-11-14 19:32:50 UTC
I have emerge'd fetchmail  
 
$ qpkg -nc -v -I fetchmail 
net-mail/fetchmail-6.1.1 
 
But when I try to run fetchmailconf I get: 
 
$ fetchmailconf 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "/usr/bin/fetchmailconf", line 9, in ? 
    from Tkinter import * 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 35, in ? 
    import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk 
ImportError: No module named _tkinter 
 
Isn't emerge/portage supposed to automaticly get the dependencies for you? 
 
Please let me know if you need any further information about my system or 
setup. 
 
Best regards 
 Michael Boman

tcltk is an optional component of python... did you ever have -tcltk in USE
variables?
Comment 2 Michael Boman 2002-11-18 18:02:35 UTC
No, I run default configuration from the 1.4rc1 stage3 tarball for athlon XP. 
i have not changed and USE variables in my /etc/make.conf nor in 
/etc/make.profile/make.defaults 
Comment 3 Nick Hadaway 2002-11-18 19:52:52 UTC
tcltk is not in the default use variables

-

emerge tcl tk python fetchmail

This will add the missing Tkinter.py to python... 
then fetchmail will compile without a problem.
