[MMTK] MMTK Install

[Justin Lemkul]

Hello again,

I am hoping that this will be the last of my bothersome newbie questions.  It 
has been a long 
ordeal getting my computer to work with MMTK, and I almost have it done.  My 
python2.3 was 
not configured for Tkinter (odd, I thought) so I went ahead and upgraded to 
2.4 from 
python.org.  The new version now recognizes Tkinter, but cannot find MMTK, and 
gives me the 
standard error which we've all seen:

>>> from mmtk import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named mmtk

I am getting all too tired of seeing this :)  I had to modify my .bash_profile 
to get python2.4 
to be the default on the machine, and was wondering if there was something 
else I needed to 
change to get MMTK to be recognized, and this is below:

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
PATH=$PATH:$HOME
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin/babel
PATH=$PATH:/sw/bin
PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH:$HOME/bin

I read a thread from a few years ago in the archives where Konrad said that 
the only thing 
necessary to have the MMTK modules recognized was a correctly defined 
PYTHONPATH.  My 
question is how to declare that explicitly, and might that fix the problem?  I 
added the last line 
of the above block (copied from a different forum since I am unfamiliar with 
this syntax) so the 
system would find my python2.4 and override its annoying tendency to want to 
run 2.3, but is 
there something else that I have to declare within the file, such as an 
export, alias, or additional 
PATH?

Thanks!
