python errors when trying to run Devede

Hi all,

I have downloaded the latest version of Devede, and it installed without any problems.
But, when I try and run it I get this error

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "//usr/local/bin/devede", line 27, in <module>

    import gtk

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 38, in <module>

    import gobject as _gobject

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject/__init__.py", line 30, in <module>

    from gobject.constants import *

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject/constants.py", line 22, in <module>

    from _gobject import type_from_name

ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject/_gobject.so: undefined symbol: g_timeout_add_seconds_full

I thought this must be a python problem, so I re-installed python, but get the same result. If I run python directly and try to import gtk I get this error

Code:

Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Mar  1 2008, 13:52:45)

[GCC 4.2.3] on linux2

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import gtk

ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject/_gobject.so: undefined symbol: g_timeout_add_seconds_full

As you can see, it is the same error. Anyone come across this. I have tried google, but the only reference I can find is on slacky.eu, and unfortunately I don't speak Italian.

Any help appreciated

Thanks

I would try reinstalling pygobject and possibly pygtk for good measure.

You don't say what version of Slackware you have but these come with Slackware 12.1, if you are on a previous version and obtained them elsewhere it looks like they're broken. A SlackBuild for pygtk is available here: http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12.0/libraries/pygtk/ and pygobject here http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12...ies/pygobject/

Tried as you suggested using the slackbuilds, but pygtk fails to build with the following error during the make cycle:

Code:

Any more ideas?

Anyone? Struggling here

I take it from your reply you are running a version of Slackware prior to 12.1 - which comes with pygtk as is.

I have tried the Slackbuild on a Slackware 12 box with pygobject-2.12.1 built from a Slackbuild and pycairo-1.4.0 again from a Slackbuild and pygtk builds fine.

Are you on Slackware 12.0 ?

P.S. - Just noticed your profile Slackware (current). You do know Slackware current has it's own copy of pygtk I take it ? If you are in fact running current I suggest reinstalling pygobject and pygtk.

I have current on a test box and running "import gtk" from python works ok.
