Installing Gyach Enhanced / pY! Voice Chat :(
I tried to install Gyach Enhanced / pY! Voice Chat on Mandrake 10.1 (fresh install just hours before) so i can chat to my mates using voice, i clicked on the rpm file which i downloaded from http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourc....6-1.i586.rpm, clicked install it and it said
Some package requested cannot be installed:
Gyach-Enhanced-pYVoiceChat-1.0.6-1.i586 (due to unsatisfied pygtk[>= 1.99])
do you agree ?
tar:/home/ace/Applications/pygtk-2.2.0.tar.gz/pygtk-2.2.0
Then i clicked ok.d ok.
I googled pygtk, found and downloaded http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sourc...-2.2.0.tar.gz, is this the right thing to do but i cant install it, i dont know how. I extracted it and i dont know what to do.
Is this just for gnome because at the moment i'm using kde, do i have to switch, i ask because it says gnome in the address to the file
I'm very new to linux, please help

it usually says
./configure
make
make install

I am on Redhat 9 and i and having the same dependency issue. I tried to update pygtk but the update stops because my version is less than 1.99. This seems odd. I installed Gyach with no depencies. When I try to run the program nothing happens.

OK...I installed the alsa-lib rpm required by Gyach then installed Gyach with no depencies and it works; however, Gyach crashes at random.
