On Slackware12, I am trying to install DeVeDe (a linux program that converts X video to DVD),
After extracting the .bz2 and running it's ./install.sh, When I try to run devede I am receiving this error:
Quote:
root@Crazed-Weasel:/build/devede-3.3# devede
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/devede", line 25, in <module>
import pygtk # for testing GTK version number
ImportError: No module named pygtk
root@Crazed-Weasel:/build/devede-3.3#
I have installed pykde, pyqt(versions 3 and 4), pygtk, wxpython, pygtkglext, pycairo and python is installed, but nothing seems to fix the problem.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, i will be most grateful
Distribution: slackware64 13.37 and -current, Dragonfly BSD

Hi Orbit,
Looks like your install of the PyGTK module has gone wrong, To prove this run python from CLI (just type python into your console) and at the python prompt type "import pygtk". You should get the import error again showing that pygtk is not setup right.
If I were you I would download pygobject, pycairo and pygtk from Slackbuilds.org and download the sources.
First build and install pygobject, then pycairo then pygtk. Pygtk should now be setup and installed.
Try your "python - import pygtk" procedure again to make sure pygtk is installed. Then run your Devede install again.
I managed to install devede and had the same problems.Now its installed and loads properly but when I try to open a multi media file like an .avi or .mpg they are not visible in the load file box???.I think i'll stick with ffmpeg.Does yours work ok?
If you want a ffmpeg that has all these codecs built-in as static libraries, instead of depending on them being additionally installed, you can also checkout http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/ffmpeg/
The ffmpeg.SlackBuild there will download all the tarballs needed and build a fully functional ffmpeg. You can also download and install the ready-made package.
Thanks all.I liked the ffmpeg tips.I have been using alienbob builds for a time now but never ffmpeg.I use the one that comes in the slackwaremediapack.It does work well but if I ever reinstall Slack (rare):-)I will try his build.And I will persevere with devede just cos its buggin me.
Well I got all the py stuff from slackpacks and replaced the ones Id used previously from linuxpackages.Devede now works.Happy Happy Joy Joy.Thanks all.
