Thanks for the very useful write up! I managed to get it installed and  
activated. Perhaps you could add something about deactivating the  
current version first so that is doesn't fail when trying to activate  
the older version. But I'm just a MacPorts newbie. :)

  I neglected to mention that I'm using Python 2.5 also. So I changed  
my py25-tkinter back to the 8.4 version using the following Portfile  
@30184:

<@30184>

That worked fine (and I had to download the setup.py and add it to a  
'files' folder). I then noticed that Tk needs to be downgraded to 8.4  
also. So I got Portfile @30811 of that:

<@30811>

But when I tried to 'port install' it, I get the following compile  
error:

frank$ sudo port install

Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?


Thanks!
