I have it running mostly ok under Debian/woody, but I haven't updated
everything lately.  Is python2.2 available for woody yet?  If so, have you
also installed python22-tk (or whatever it's called?)

At the time I built VPython, I had to compile and install my own Python22
(and extensions, such as Numeric and Tk) as well as my own libgtkglarea.
I built the versions that came with the Visual .tar.gz bundle.  

Lastly, what version of gcc are you using?  I'm not C++ fluent, but it's
possible that gcc-3 handles things ever so slightly differently from
gcc-2.95 (which is what I used).

I'm planning to look at the build process again, but I'm not touching
my current working installation till after this semester is over :-).
