Alacarte configuration fails when using "pygobject-2.14.1". With 2.14.0 it's works fine. I will atach the config.log to show what are happening.

You appear to have built pygobject against a python-2.5 revision that has PySignal_SetWakeupFd patch in it, but now using python-2.4 or something that doesn't have that patch. (The patch allows pygobject and pygtk to not wake up the computer so often and save power and such, it checks in configure if the function is available or not)

I tested with python-2.5, probabily I forgot to recompile pygobject and pygtk when I downgraed python.

closing per comment #6, never ever let python precompiled objects behind when you change python version, I guess python-updater only works with upgrading but unless python herd is ok to fix it to handle downgrade as well, this is an invalid bug to me.

I just tried to upgrade python because I had this error in the configuration of alacarte. What am I doing wrong now?
well now you either choose python 2.5 or 2.4, run python-updater, remove the indesirable version, make sure there is no .py[co] files left over (which python-updater should have caught but who knows) and then try rebuilding pygobject , pygtk, gnome-menus, gnome-python and alacarte.
