Problem with driconf (gtk and pygtk)

When I install driconf it says this error

Code:

*** Warning: importing GTK version 2 doesn't work.

*** Warning: DRIconf will probably not work for the above reason(s).

Then I installed GTK2 and tried to run driconf and it came with this error

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/local/bin/driconf", line 26, in <module>

    import driconf

  File "/usr/local/lib/driconf/driconf.py", line 24, in <module>

    import pygtk

ImportError: No module named pygtk

After that I installed pygtk too. But it didnt help and I tried to install driconf again, but it just said the same error even when GTK2 was installed..
Do I have to configure gtk some how so driconf is able to import it?

EDIT :
Now I installed from tgz files and get this error :

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/local/bin/driconf", line 26, in <module>

    import driconf

  File "/usr/local/lib/driconf/driconf.py", line 26, in <module>

    import gtk

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 48, in <module>

    from gtk import _gtk

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/cairo/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>

    from _cairo import *

ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/cairo/_cairo.so: undefined symbol: cairo_clip_extents

Did you install pygtk from sources or the *.tgz package?

I installed it from sources.

Sometimes, in previous releases, I remember that for some libraries was necessary to copy /var/cache/packages/<lib_name>.pc to /usr/lib/pkgconfig and again ldconfig.

I'm not very sure for this solution in Slackware 12.0, but you can try to find if you have pygtk*.pc in /usr/lib/pkgconfig.

Edit:
From /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig to /usr/lib/pkgconfig

No difference after that.. And yes, I have pygtk*.pc in there.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Now I installed them from .tgz files and i get this error when running driconf

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
