Ok I installed gDesklets months ago. It was the 30pre version. Everything worked fine. However, today I installed Python2.3 so I could configure one of the desklets. Now, nothing is working. When I go to start gDesklets it tells me its timedout.
I did a re-configure and got a bunch of errors. Turns out, I now need glibtop, glibtop2, and python dev packages. My husband looked at it and said something about them bring wrapped and needing to edit the config files. He's no help.
Can anyone tell me where I can find these files that I need to download? I tried on the gDesklet forum, but those people arent very nice. They treat me like Im an idiot.
So since this forum is super nice, I figured someone on here could help me. Thanks in advance!
much love,
nikki

this may be of help

good luck.

Thanks Peacedog, I tried that and followed the directions and everything installed with no errors, but its telling me that theres no module named gnome.ui. Any ideas?
much love,

a quick google for gnome.ui module turned up some results, i'll save you the time of doing it.

hope that gets you going.
good luck.

Ok I took a look at the link, and read tons, and basically, I have to re-install pyorbit and then re-install gnome-python2. So I did all that. Got no errors, everything went smoothly. Then I went and reconfigured gDesklets. No errors. However, when I went to do a make this is what I got:
gcc: -lXau: linker input file unused because linking not done
gcc: -lgtop-2.0: linker input file unused because linking not done
gcc: -lglib-2.0: linker input file unused because linking not done
make[4]: *** No rule to make target `glibtop_tmpl.i', needed by `glibtop.i'. Stop.

I know I have glibtop, I got it yesterday and installed it and everything went fine. What am I doing wrong?

nikki

to be honest googling the the error message leads me to believe this is a programming problem w/the make file or possibly some options entered during the compile process. i found this

here

that was from a google on the error. i'm not really a programming guy, so i'm limited to googling. sorry to be no more help, but, i'll keep googling, and keep an eye on this thread, if we don't get you fixed up in another day or two, i'll report this to the mods, there are several mods who are great programers, Tinkster, and acid kewpie, come to mind. again sorry. maybe we'll find the answer yet.

Peacedog,
Not a problem. I'm super thankful that someone has taken the time to try and help. Thanks so much!
much love,
nikki

done some more reading today, this error

No rule to make target `glibtop_tmpl.i', needed by `glibtop.i'. Stop.

is covered in the missing handbook, have you tried this?

Yes I have tried that and it didnt work either. I went and got the new Slack and installed that. However, I am now getting the message that gnome-python2 isnt installed and I know it is. Ya know I dont even wanna use the stupid desklets anymore. I just wanna figure this out so I can say "I figured this out" LOL. Thanks for the help.
much love,
nikki
