1. Download Python 2.5.1 from http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.1/
2. Unzip and change to the directory of the unpacked archive, E.g.,
   • tar -zxvf  Python-2.5.1.tgz
   • cd Python-2.5.1
3. Run, "./configure --prefix=<installation directory>," E.g.,
   • ./configure --prefix=/afs/slac/g/glast/ground/GLAST_EXT/tiger-i386-32bit/python/2.5.1-gl1/gcc40/
4. Edit the file, "Setup," in the "Modules" directory, "Modules/Setup"
   1. Enable zlib (Uncomment the line corresponding to "zlib")
   2. To build Python against tcltck 8.4, there are three lines to edit in the file (I would suggest searching for "_tkinter" in the Modules/Setup file, then follow the documentation)
      • Enable tkinter, by Uncommenting the line "_tkinter _tkinter.c tkappinit.c -DWITH_APPINIT "
      • Uncomment and edit to reflect where your Tcl/Tk libraries are (/usr/lib)
        • -L/usr/lib
      • Uncomment and edit to reflect where your Tcl/Tk headers are (/usr/include)
        • -I/usr/include
      • Uncomment and edit to reflect your Tcl/Tk versions are
      • Run
        1. make
        2. make install
