#257 Installing Python (python-2.7.5-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm)

[Doug Eckert]

Attempting to install python-2.7.5-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm:

rpm -ivh python-2.7.5-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

error: failed dependencies:
libtk8.4.so is needed by python-2.7.5-1

However it looks like Tk is installed already:

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

/usr/lib

lslpp -l tk.base
