Comment 1 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-07-24 12:44:18 UTC
with dev-python/gnome-python 1.4.4 && 1.4.2 works here

try emerge -Dp eroaster

also try #revdep-rebuild from gentoolkit
Comment 2 Paul Hunnisett 2003-08-01 13:43:37 UTC
Both suggested solutions have been tried without success - exactly the same results
Comment 3 Niels V 2003-08-11 07:29:56 UTC
I have the same problem

bash-2.05b$ qpkg -I  -v gnome-python
dev-python/gnome-python-1.4.4 *

emerge eroaster fails with the same error, none of the given solutions helped...
Comment 4 Link M Dupont 2003-08-19 12:23:35 UTC
I was told a possible solution would be changing the configure.in. I am not familiar with Python, but this is what i was told:

<snippit>
-PYGNOME=`python -c "from gnome.ui import *" 2>&1`
+PYGNOME=`python -c "from pygtk; pygtk.require('2.0'); from gnome.ui import *" 2>&1`
</snippit>

Seems there might've been some changes in PyGTK since eroaster was last released. I hope this gives someone a lead about writing a patch or something.
Comment 5 Link M Dupont 2003-08-19 12:25:29 UTC
Sorry, the '+' line should be as follows:
+PYGNOME=`python -c "import pygtk; pygtk.require('2.0'); from gnome.ui import *" 2>&1`
Comment 6 Michael M Nazaroff (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-21 00:38:09 UTC
Well hopefully I will have time pretty quick to take a look at this and see what can be done to patch eroaster

I'm putting the results of "qpkg -l -I gnome-python" in a file because it's
about 500 lines long!

Comment 10 Wallex 2003-08-26 03:18:33 UTC
Um... I had the same problem. What I did to 'fix' it was to re-emerge gnome-python (with USE=gnome) and afterwards eroaster merged fine. Then I went and re-emerge gnome-python with USE=-gnome and presto, eroaster failed to merge once more.

I am not sure how having gnome-python without gnome support breaks things, but that's the solution that worked for me, maybe it'll work for you too?
Comment 11 Niels V 2003-08-31 13:45:57 UTC
Wallex solution didn't get me any further... how could I apply this patch myself?
Comment 12 robert jorgenson 2003-09-18 22:13:36 UTC
I'm having this same problem, none of the 3 solutions presented have worked for me either
Comment 13 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-19 16:46:57 UTC
please try out eroaster-2.2.0_pre6.ebuild
Comment 14 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-30 08:55:20 UTC

Comment 15 Thomas Jäger 2003-11-21 23:50:34 UTC
I wasn't able to emerge eroaster too 
  - even not using eroaster-2.2.0_pre6

After deleting some "old" pyc-files emerge 2.2.0_pre6 was successful!

/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk.pyc
   [old pygtk?, pygtk-2.0.0 now ]

/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gnome/__init__.pyc
/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gnome/ui.pyc
/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gnome/uiconsts.pyc
/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gnome
   [old gnome-python-1.4.4?, i'm using gnome-python-2.0.0 now]

Comment 16 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-11-23 04:06:53 UTC
that's related to bug 8804. it will be fixed with python-2.3 along with some other changes. but right now, you'll have to live with that for the moment.
Comment 17 Chris Millard 2003-12-21 23:57:26 UTC
As mentioned in the forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=724217

I was having this exact problem.  My old install of eroaster complained about gtk and I couldn't emerge any version of eroaster due to configure failing.

Solution: remerge pygtk then remerge eroaster.

Absolutely awesome program. :)
Comment 18 Niels V 2004-01-24 06:01:19 UTC
I have python-2.3 installed, and both ebuilds still fail with the same error...
Comment 19 Niels V 2004-01-24 08:11:46 UTC
after installing gnome-python-2.0 the install worked, maybe eroaster should have that as a dependency?
