On a Red Hat 9 system, I downloaded the python2.4-2.4.
1-1pydotorg.src.rpm and, following the web page ran "rpm --rebuild .
..". It went a long for a good long while with no apparent errors and 
then said:

---

RPM build errors:
   File not found by glob: /var/tmp/python2.4-2.4.
1-root/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/_tkinter.so*

---
I looked in the directory and there is, in fact, no _tkinter.so file(s) 
there.
