[Bf-linux] Problems I have been facing these days

[vanangamudi]

I recently migrated to fedora 17 from ubuntu. there are several problem
I have been troubling with. Some of which related to blender are.

I cannot launch Blender build from Graphicall.org
   I created links for the "libXXXX.so.YYY"s
   But new problem with launching blender is it throws the following
error.

==============================================================================

connect failed: No such file or directory

Error: No valid "startup.blend", fall back to built-in default.

Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding
ImportError: No module named 'encodings'
Aborted (core dumped)

==============================================================================
the third error I cannot understand, so I tried compiling Python3.3 from
source. 
so in the python source directory
I created build and changed to build dir
so now I am in /.../python/build
and I did 
  $ ../configure
  $ make 

and it throws this onto the terminal

case $MAKEFLAGS in *s*) quiet=-q; esac; \

Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules
were not found:
_lzma              _tkinter                           
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the
module's name.
====================================================================================

how do I solve this. the missing module for blender was encodings 
and the problem here is lzma and tkinter.

FYI I am now using Fedora 17
