As for tcl/tk 8.4, the plan is that we build python against the same version used by the ftools (sometimes referred to as heasoft).  We have a copy of heasoft installed at SLAC, currently on a rh9 build..but I'll be doing a rhel4 build soon.  That build is located at $GLASTROOT/applications/heasoft/

Installing Python 2.5.1 (built against tcltk 8.4) for Linux

Download Python 2.5.1 from http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.1/^{Image Added}

Unzip and change to the directory of the unpacked archive (e.g.,)

    tar -zxvf  Python-2.5.1.tgz

    cd Python-2.5.1

 run

    ./configure --prefix=<INSTALLATION DIRECTORY>

 where <INSTALLATION DIRECTORY> is the location where you want to install the bin/ and include/ directories. 

Running ./configure then creates a file named, "Setup" in the Modules directory, Modules/Setup 

We have confirmed with Jim Chiang that it is numpy (rather than numarray) we should be supporting.
