python make dies :libtk8.5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Trying to build python-2.6.2

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --exec-prefix=/usr/local LDFLAGS="-L/
usr/local"

(runs through happily, had to make some libs local)

make runs most of the way until…

Am I missing something, it’s there?

Is /usr/local/lib in your library search path? It looks like it isn't.
Check /etc/ld.so.conf and /etc/ld.so.conf.d/.

I added /usr/local/lib to ld.so.conf.d/python26.conf and ran ldconfig
(thanks Chrisitan)

Ran a make distclean (had to move the files and got a “file not found”
from my previous working directory).

Everything compiled and installed like a charm. Thanks!
