gcomputer ~ # ls /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages gtk-2.0 README
I think the package pygtk is a bit confusing (at least its name). I figured out on another PC, that the package pygobject installs the pygtk module. Then I reemerged pygobject on the PC and this installs the gtk module which was found after. Though I get an error about a missing cairo module then. After also reemerging pycairo, I solved at least this bug. In short, solution: Reemerge pygobject and pycairo. Though, I have now the problem about a missing dbus Python object. All that would probably be easier by just running python-updater but I try to avoid that because most of the packages there are completely outdated or does not exist anymore, therefore python-updater probably just wont work. And making a world update before also does not work because of this problem with avahi (and probably also other Python depending packages).
Reemerging dbus-python solved the last problem. I emerged avahi successfully now. This allows me finally to continue my world update now. :)
Perhaps, can you add a notice to the ebuild which is shown when the configure fails with a missing Python module? (That the user should try to reemerge pygobject, pycairo or whatever the error message was.) Would have saved me some time and some annoying outfiguring.

I had the same problem with avahi-0.6.23; test program gave the same output. For me, emerge -1va pygtk pygobject pycairo helped and avahi compiled well.

Hi all I had the same problem on ~x86 when compiling avahi-0.6.25, but: - USE flags were correctly set (python and threads) - re-emerging all the suggested packages took time, but did not solve the problem Then I realized that my python had been updated and - as Sven pointed out - I had overlooked running the python-updater afterwards. After running # /usr/sbin/python-updater everything compiled fine again. krgds /markus
This bug also occurs when required libs are broken: ... ImportError: libdirectfb-0.9.so.25: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ...
(In reply to comment #30) ... > After running > > # /usr/sbin/python-updater > > everything compiled fine again. > > krgds /markus > /usr/sbin/python-updater was also the solution foe me ... (from 2.5 -> 2.6)
python-updater did not work for me. python-updater did also try to update avahi and failed. Reemerge of pygobject and pycairo did solve the issue.
Had the same problem here, though I've always been using python with the USE "threads". Package versions here: avahi-0.6.24-r2 python-2.6.2-r1 This solved the issue: emerge -jva pygobject pycairo pygtk dbus-python avahi Regards, Saffi

Making the symlinks helped and I can now compile avahi. Thanks a lot!
Okay, it's the mess since yesterday, I re-emerged "pygtk, pygobject, pycairo" several times, and it didn't help. Files were correctly placed, and symlinks were apparently right too. I made some emerge --unmerge avahi (dangerous, I know, I couldn't log back into gnome). I unmerged gajim too (which was using avahi with python USE flag). I tried several python-updater and revdep-rebuild, it didn't help much because during the process avahi was being rebuilt and failed. I temporarily set -python for avahi in /etc/portage/packages.use, allowed me to build back avahi. Once built, I added again python USE flag, emerge -auNDv world was trying to build avahi and failed. I noticed I had 2 pythons installs, 2.5 and 2.6, so I wanted to remove 2.5. We can check that with "eselect python list", 2.6 was selected by default, so that was okay. I then made some "emerge --depclean", and it unmerged 2.5. I tried to merge avahi again, it failed. I then re-emerged pygtk, and avahi, it failed. I then re-emerged pygobject, and avahi, and it worked !! :-P Just before re-emerging pygobject: $ python Python 2.6.2 (r262:71600, Aug 16 2009, 14:01:47) [GCC 4.3.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import gtk Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named gtk >>> quit() Just after re-emerging pygobject: $ python Python 2.6.2 (r262:71600, Aug 16 2009, 14:01:47) [GCC 4.3.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import gtk >>> quit() To sum up : I had to clean my old python installation with emerge --depclean, then to reemerge pygtk and pygobject, then emerge avahi. Hope this helps.
Forgot to mention, just after I emerged avahi with -python, I ran python-updater and it went well, as it didn't have to emerge avahi.
See http://bugs.gentoo.org/280973. After downgrade app-admin/eselect-python to version 20090606 I was able to emerge avahi with USE=gtk. eselect-python-200908xx not allow me to emerge avahi with USE=gtk despite I was able to execute 'python -c "import gtk"' and 'python -c "import pygtk"' without errors.

Just relink /usr/bin/python to /usr/bin/python2.6 solves the issue.

After trying all the other suggestions, this worked for me, too. However, I think it may not be a long-term solution. After successfully emerging avahi, I changed the symlink back to python-wrapper. (I'm not sure what will happen after that, but the only reported problem above is in avahi.) Question: Is the autoconf code in avahi which fails above correct? (In other words, is the problem in python-wrapper or avahi?)
Seems that the latest eselect-python (20090824) solved this issue. Please give it a try.

Seems v20091230 has the same bug than the earlier ones... * Messages for package net-dns/avahi-0.6.24-r2: * * ERROR: net-dns/avahi-0.6.24-r2 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 4070: Called econf '--localstatedir=/var' '--with-distro=gentoo' '--disable-python-dbus' '--disable-pygtk' '--disable-xmltoman' '--disable-monodoc' '--enable-glib' '--disable-tests' '--enable-autoipd' '--enable-compat-libdns_sd' '--disable-compat-howl' '--disable-doxygen-doc' '--disable-mono' '--enable-dbus' '--enable-python' '--enable-gtk' '--disable-qt3' '--enable-qt4' '--enable-gdbm' '--enable-python-dbus' '--enable-pygtk' * ebuild.sh, line 534: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die "econf failed" * The die message: * econf failed
