If I unset DISPLAY and try to compile all is good, and the configure code is clean. It checks if the module raised an ImportError. That there's no display is completely ignored. What does: python -c 'import gtk' print when you're logged in remotely?
That command normally exits silently. Unless I unset DISPLAY: $ export DISPLAY="" $ python -c 'import gtk' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 38, in ? from _gtk import * RuntimeError: could not open display which seems reasonable. More info: when I ssh in I have X11 forwarding turned on (for example, I can open an xterm). Emerging the new avahi-0.6.7, I get: checking for python extension module directory... ${exec_prefix}/lib/python2.4/s ite-packages checking for python module gtk... X11 connection rejected because of wrong authe ntication. no configure: error: Could not find Python module gtk I think this has something to do with portage running as user portage instead of root (root has the correct X-auth stuff to open windows over the ssh connection but user portage doesn't). Thats my guess anyway.
Yes, that might be a problem, but configure only checks for ImportError's and not for other weirdness. Normally it should work, even if gtk fails to establish a connection to the X server.
Seems to me a quick fix would be to just put a DISPLAY="" somewhere in the ebuild. I suppose there is a deeper issue here though.
Nope, no way, that is guly.
This problem seems to be known to the avahi developers. Please bear with me until I have further information from them. :)
I encountered the same gtk configure error trying to emerge avahi-0.6.9, and I also came across another error in compilation which looks like it is related to the configure error. In both cases the workaround was to emerge in an sux shell rather than an su shell--a variation on the workaround used by the original bug reporter. The second error gave the following output: Making all in avahi-sharp make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/avahi-0.6.9/work/avahi-0.6.9/avahi-sharp' /usr/bin/mdassembler --out avahi-sharp-docs --ecma ./en mcs -keyfile:./avahi.snk -target:library -out:avahi-sharp.dll -debug ./AddressResolver.cs ./AssemblyInfo.cs ./BrowserBase.cs ./Client.cs ./ClientException.cs ./DomainBrowser.cs ./EntryGroup.cs ./HostNameResolver.cs ./RecordBrowser.cs ./ResolverBase.cs ./ServiceBrowser.cs ./ServiceResolver.cs ./ServiceTypeBrowser.cs ./Utility.cs -r:Mono.Posix ./gencfg.sh ../avahi-client/libavahi-client.la \ ../avahi-common/libavahi-common.la \ ../avahi-glib/libavahi-glib.la < avahi-sharp.dll.config.in > avahi-sharp.dll.config ./gencfg.sh: line 7: ../avahi-glib/libavahi-glib.la: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [avahi-sharp.dll.config] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

ERROR: net-dns/avahi-0.6.9 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 100, Exitcode 2 !!! emake failed !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. As I said, the emerge was succesful when I did it in an sux shell. The only thing different apart from that was that the successful build was USE=gtk, while the unsuccesful one was USE=-gtk (in order to get around the earlier configure error).
swegener: any progress? One possible workaround is to set XAUTHORITY=/root/.Xauthority. Note: $ ssh localhost env XAUTHORITY= xclock X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). $ env XAUTHORITY= xclock Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified Error: Can't open display: :0.0 i.e. if authentication is not available when connecting to a local X server the application can recover, but when connecting via a ssh -X tunnel Xlib crashes the application.
Nothing new, been busy with private stuff and still can't reproduce it here. The code itself is sane and behaves well for me while setting XAUTHORITY to /dev/null for example.
Have you checked tried reproducing it under a ssh X tunnel? $ env XAUTHORITY=/dev/null python -c "'import gtk'" $ ssh -X localhost env XAUTHORITY=/dev/null python -c "'import gtk'" X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. The application '-c' lost its connection to the display localhost:10.0; most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the application.
I cannot test the other bug without avahi being installed. What is the correct workaround? Why is the workaround not in the ebuild until the upstream bug has been resolved? Can we please get this fixed?
I added the unset DISPLAY workaround. The problem is in gtk itself, which forcibly termintates the application in certain cases.
I tried the fix suggested in comment#8 XAUTHORITY=/root/.Xauthority to no avail. The best fix is to emerge through SSH. That worked like a charm.

This exact bug is affecting me with avahi 0.6.15 which is being emerged through ssh without X forwarding. Has any stable workaround been determined?
Shrug; re-emerging dev-python/pygtk fixed the issue for me. No idea about this.
*** Bug 177895 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Same issue in 0.6.19 here.
Hum, false report,sorry: my issue in 0.6.19 was caused by #177866 bug for dev-lang/python, re-emerging it with threads flag on solved the issue.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 177866 ***
bleh, sorry
It didn't happen when I installed 0.6.19 but does happen with 0.6.20.

The solution to this problem is to rebuild pycairo I found the solution here: http://www.sabayonlinux.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=10136
I can confirm that reemerging pycairo did the fix for me. However, I still believe an interference of vector graphics library with a network dicovery service is beyond any sanity and should be pursued upstream, preferably into pygtk.

I had problems with Avahi. emerge pygobject pycairo solved my problems
Any progress on this one? I'm currently doing a chroot for a laptop where ubuntu decided to die and I'm stuck here. Any workaround? Thanks, Norberto
Workaround does not fix my avahi problem.

I was trying to emerge avahi and it was failing during the configure portion of the install with the "cant find gtk module" error, so decided to try configuring the package by hand, it turned out that it was actually failing on the next check which was the python dbus check. After emerging dbus-python and monodoc the ./configure worked fine, so tried re-emeging avahi and it worked fine. I am using avahi-0.6.22-r1. Hopefully thats useful to somebody
I solved the issue for avahi-0.6.22-r1 by remerging pygtk first and pycairo afterwards. The DISPLAY seems to be no problem, at least for me. Perhaps it helps out.
From what I can tell this is kernel related, and use variables that are used in your make.conf. I am used "genkernel all", and my make.conf has the following: use="doc examples tetex opengl cdr glibc Locales dbus gdbmalsa python gnome gdm kde xgl -dli -selinux qt3 -qt3 -arts X hal avahi" Now I have installed quite a few packages in the mean time from portage, but ultimately speaking I kept receiving the same errors relating with python until I make sure that: 1: I recompiled the kernel with the "genkernel all" 2: Sifted through /etc/init.d, and made a symlink into /etc/runlevels/default for dbus. 3: Rebooted into the new kernel after making sure /boot/grub/grub.conf had the right info in it. It still have direct rendering, and honestly the installation of packages from portage has become much easier, and seemly faster since the kernel rebuild (of course though! Now I'm not receiving python errors!!). -- I assume dbus needs to be started as a service. After I got pyGTK to be recognized as a module [installed (without gui)], I started to get the message of dbus-python not being installed as a module, which I found rather odd - regardless I did a few things such as recompiling pygtk, pycairo, cairo, pygobject, dbus-python, dbus, and so fourth.... as well as "genkernel all" before I rebooted. Figured I could drop in my 2 cents. genkernel is a nifty lil tool....
When I emerge pygtk (using python 2.6) it has the message * Unable to establish /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/pygtk.py symlink * Unable to establish /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/pygtk.pth symlink There are simlinks in the /usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/ directory, but the file they simlink to is missing as well.
