As xasy is written in the interactive scripting language
Python/TK, it requires Python
(http://www.python.org), the Python Imaging Library
(http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/), and the tkinter

tkinter with the commands
yum install tkinter yum install tk-devel

On UNIX systems, place

tar -zxf Imaging-1.1.7b1.tar.gz cd Imaging-1.1.7b1 python setup.py install
