I downloaded, compiled, and installed the tarball for streamtuner 0.99.99. This is a great utility.
However, it did not go smoothly. I have Mandrake 10.0 with a substantial number of updates, but streamtuner wouldn't configure because it is bleeding-edge on a lot of the dependencies, and my Mandrake installation (from last May) was just too old.
So, after I installed a couple of dozen packages from Mandrake 10.1, and compiled a couple of tarballs to get other things, I got streamtuner to make and install.
The installer didn't work right and I had to do most of the install by cd'ing into the relevant subdirectory and doing a make, make install from the subdirectory. When I was done the whole thing was installed and almost all of it works.
The python plugin doesn't work. It appeared to compile without issue (after I installed an appropriate pygtk version, with its dependencies) and it appeared to install without issue (when I did it from the subdirectory), but when streamtuner starts it gives this error message:

Well, I don't do python. I don't exactly understand the error message and I hope someone here can tell me so I don't have to spend many hours figuring it out.
The "gobject" appears to be the basic python object type, so I suppose this message is telling me that it is unable to find some python object it needs. But, because the make install didn't work right, I am not sure whether this means I have some library version problem or whether there is some streamtuner file that is missing/improperly located/improperly compiled.
the contents of /usr/local/lib/streamtuner/plugins are as follows:

Anyone here able to point me in the right direction?
. It works surely, because the python stuff is optional. I installed this on Minislack 1.1 (based on Slackware 10.1), and I got an error about libpython2.3so.1.0 not being found, made a symlink to libpython2.4.so.1.0, everything went fine. Now I install it on ZenWalk 1.2 (successor of Minislack 1.1 and still based on 10.1), and now it gives me the error 'could not import gobject', just like you guys have had 
. Symlinking the libpython stuff doesn't solve it
