When I run meld (version 0.8.3 or version 0.9.0) it gives the following traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/meld", line 73, in ? meldapp.main() File "/usr/lib/meld/meldapp.py", line 809, in main app = MeldApp() File "/usr/lib/meld/meldapp.py", line 492, in __init__ self.toolbar.set_style( self.prefs.get_toolbar_style() ) File "/usr/lib/meld/meldapp.py", line 463, in get_toolbar_style style = {"both":gtk.TOOLBAR_BOTH, "both_horiz":gtk.TOOLBAR_BOTH_HORIZ, KeyError: both-horiz I thought this might be because the ebuild for dev-util/meld-.0.8.3 and dev-util/meld-.0.9.0 (and probably dev-util/meld-.0.8.5 too) have old dependencies.

can't reproduce this, what gtk+ & python versions are you using ?
Im using: gtk+-2.2.4-r1 python-2.2.3-r1 I've asked the meld author if he has any idea what's going on. Will report here if he can think of anything.
can you try merging python, pygtk and gnome-python with less optimisations? maybe say "-march=i686 -O2 -pipe" it seems like something wrong with a basic operation in python or the pygtk/gnome-python modules. also, what does this output? gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_style
$ gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_style both-horiz
Created attachment 19888 [details, diff] patch to meldapp.py, changing "both_horiz" to "both-horiz" Sent to me by the meld author steve9000@users.sourceforge.net It fixes the problem for me. :-)
steve9000 at users sourceforge net told me: > Hi Duncan, it seems the spelling changed fromboth_horiz to both-horiz. > You can manually change the line: > > -style = {"both":gtk.TOOLBAR_BOTH, "both_horiz":gtk.TOOLBAR_BOTH_HORIZ, > +style = {"both":gtk.TOOLBAR_BOTH, "both-horiz":gtk.TOOLBAR_BOTH_HORIZ, Cheers Steve.
i thought it was ok to use both for now... weird that i have the same packages and not this problem.
this happens only when you have the toolbar settings in gnome "text beside icons". i've committed the patch. thanks for your report and help.
meld-0.9.0-r1 builds and works fine now thanks guys
