Pmw BLT problems

Hello fellow python users,
I am trying to use Python Mega widgets and the BLT extension to Tk
for my project. Pmw scripts seem to work fine.

However, I could not run the BLT examples since BLT was not
installed.
BLT installation was interesting since while the INSTALL file in the
tar ball indicated that the default install directory is /usr/local,
even after specifying the prefix directory during 'configure', the
files were installed w.r.t /usr directory.

Running a HELLO program that makes use of blt graph gave the following
error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./HelloGraph.py", line 33, in ?
g = Pmw.Blt.Graph(m aster)
File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/Pmw/Pmw_1_2/lib/PmwBlt.py",
line 260, in __init__
Tkinter.Widget. __init__(self, master, _graphCommand, cnf, kw)
File "/usr/lib/python2.2/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1764, in __init__
self.tk.call(
TclError: invalid command name "::blt::gra ph"

A quick search on the group archive suggested that
this might be because BLT has not been installed. In my case, that
might be 'not properly installed'.
Any suggestions on how to get the installation
right? Did anyone deal with this kind of problem before?

Thanks in advance,
Sriram

This works: db2 SELECT DISTINCT PROBLEM_OBJECTS.PROBLEM_ID FROM PROBLEM_OBJECTS INNER JOIN PROBLEMS ON PROBLEM_OBJECTS.PROBLEM_ID = PROBLEMS.PROBLEM_ID WHERE INTEGER(DAYS(CURRENT DATE) - DAYS(PROBLEMS.CLOSE_DATE)) = 365 AND PROBLEMS.CLOSE_DATE IS NOT NULL But this doesn't: db2 SELECT DISTINCT PROBLEM_OBJECTS.PROBLEM_ID FROM PROBLEM_OBJECTS

I am having a lot of problems with DB2 8.3.1 on RH Linux AS2.1. Installing and running stored procedures is problematic. Stored procedures I have used for years on V7 on WinNT are now failing multiple times/day. Data that exists in the db is not returned with a select *, but is returned when a where clause with a primary key value is specified. There are other problems, including the db crashing in the middle of a simple query.
