[Description Jason Mours 2014-02-13 18:48:34 UTC]

Having problems with dev-lang/python-2.7.6 building _tkinter with the following output:

Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found:
bsddb185           dl                 imageop         
sunaudiodev                                           
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.


Failed to build these modules:

: I recently had to downgrade my tickle and toolkit to dev-lang/tcl-8.5.15-r1 and dev-lang/tk-8.5.15 to accommodate ruby's toolkit which does not agree with tcl-8.6 / tk-8.6 , if it's related. Posting build.log

Reproducible: Always

I'm having similar issues with dev-lang/python-3.3.3 building _tkinter but it does not post missing modules cited in dev-lang/python-2.7.6... So this maybe my bug, was it safe to roll back tickle and toolkit?

It references both libtk8.6.so and -ltk8.5 - which would you like to have?

If I get to have a choice in the matter, -ltk8.5 seems like the way to go. With ruby not toolkiting proper with 8.6, I suppose I'll mask tcl/tk-8.6 and wait for tickle math to mature. I'll submit my python-3.3.3 bug as well.

I can't reproduce here.

Make sure you have removed both /usr/lib64/libtcl8.6.so and /usr/lib64/libtk8.6.so after downgrading to tcl-8.5 and tk-8.5. Portage will keep them installed if you have preserve-libs enabled.

Neither file is on this machine, and /usr/lib64/libtk.so & /usr/lib64/libtcl.so are pointing to 8.5

[Comment 9 Mike Gilbert 2014-02-15 17:38:23 UTC]

Sorry to do this, but I can't see where tk8.6 is coming from.

It's probably legacy from when TCL/tk was multislot. Some sed statement of sorts, but I can't sed properly. Oh well.

[Comment 11 Jason Mours 2014-03-14 22:04:40 UTC]

I'm still getting errors with dev-lang/python-3.3.4, which was no surprise. But I was wondering if the problem was with old legacy tickle/toolkit multi-slotting. It doesn't look like it was pulled out of python all the way. Could this be passed along? I'd rather see multislot come back to tcl/tk, but either way this could generate (be generating) more anomalies thru out.

[Comment 12 Michał Górny 2018-04-24 15:43:59 UTC]

No action for 4 years.  I don't think we can do or figure out more here.
