Python 2.3.2 spawn problem

[Jim Tanner]

I am trying to start the 2.3.3 IDL and getting an error. I think I might
have a dll conflict, but the 2.2.3 IDL works fine. The 2.3.3 IDL used to
work just fine.

The following are the Traceback error messages:

Thanks for your assistance,

I finally tracked this error to a conflict with the TCL/TK library version
installed by Ruby having previously installed Python 2.3.2. Python 2.3.2 is
dependent on a TCL/TK version that is one release older than that required
by Ruby.

Uninstalling Ruby and Python 2.3.2 and reinstalling Python 2.3.2 seems to
have done the trick.

I will have to run some controlled experiments to see if Ruby can run with
the same TCL/TK version as Python 2.3.2.

Thanks again for those of you who responded with suggestions.
