I tried this. (re)building py-Tk caused pysol to be rebuilt. I still get
the same error when I try to run pysol.
Thanks for the suggestion, though.
With XFree86 3.3.6 (as-shipped with NetBSD), it seems to correctly
configure Tkinter (e.g., pysol runs). So, it appears now to be a problem
with the way that the package builds under XFree86 4.0.
