It appears that a bunch of python stuff is broken on your system. I notice that you have both python-2.4 and python-2.5 installed, yet the build is using python-2.4, which, AFAIK is not supposed to happen.

Is the python upgrade recent? Have you run python-updater?

[Comment 4 Arun Raghavan (RETIRED) 2008-08-26 17:01:44 UTC]

Did you select python-2.4 as your default python using eselect? If yes, this bug is a duplicate of bug #235451.

[Comment 5 chris 2008-08-29 16:21:00 UTC]

I been try it with both python version ( 2.4 and 2.5), by switching using eselect (not worked).
Still it is not working.
At present I choose:
 
eselect python list
Available python interpreters:
  [1]   python2.5 *

and when I try emerge alacarte I receive the same error what before:
...
checking for ALACARTE... yes
checking for pygtk 2.8.0 installed for python 2.4... not found
configure: error: required pygtk version not found
...

Somebody has any solution?

[Comment 6 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2008-09-06 08:41:45 UTC]

some (most) gnome packages using python only support detecting the latest version installed on your system, hence doesn't respect to eselect settings. This is something that needs fixing upstream and that's also why it was written in the upgrade manual that you needed to simply get python-2.5, remove 2.4 and be done with it.

If you wish to keep 2.4, you can do it but you still have to run python-updater to make sure all modules are rebuild against 2.5 so that gnome packages can find them (you can also do the opposite but python 2.5 is a nice improvment over 2.4 anyway).
