I get random errors when I run ies4linux-2.99.0.1 here on amd64. Either during the download from Microsoft's servers or after it completes, sometimes ies4linux complains: "Your wine does not have wineprefixcreate installed." That is a separate issue, with Wine >=1.2 -- see: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344233 Most of the time, however, here is a sampling of errors ies4linux crashes with: b64/python2.6/lib-dynload/select.soui/pygtk/python-gtk.sh: line 6: 14968 Aborted python "$IES4LINUX"/ui/pygtk/ies4linux-gtk.py -- or -- /usr/lib/ies4linux/ui/pygtk/ies4linux-gtk.py:399: GtkWarning: Invalid text buffer iterator: either the iterator is uninitialized, or the characters/pixbufs/widgets in the buffer have been modified since the iterator was created. You must use marks, character numbers, or line numbers to preserve a position across buffer modifications. You can apply tags and insert marks without invalidating your iterators, but any mutation that affects 'indexable' buffer contents (contents that can be referred to by character offset) will invalidate all outstanding iterators gtk.main() ui/pygtk/python-gtk.sh: line 6: 17747 Segmentation fault python "$IES4LINUX"/ui/pygtk/ies4linux-gtk.py -- or -- /usr/lib/ies4linux/ui/pygtk/ies4linux-gtk.py:268: GtkWarning: gtk_text_layout_real_invalidate: assertion `layout->wrap_loop_count == 0' failed self.textbuffer.insert_with_tags(self.textbuffer.get_end_iter(), line, tag) /usr/lib/ies4linux/ui/pygtk/ies4linux-gtk.py:399: PangoWarning: pango_layout_get_iter: assertion `PANGO_IS_LAYOUT (layout)' failed gtk.main() ui/pygtk/python-gtk.sh: line 6: 22997 Segmentation fault python "$IES4LINUX"/ui/pygtk/ies4linux-gtk.py -- or -- It just hangs...

- If this package can be used as a library and installs Python modules (*.so or *.py) into directories specific to given versions of Python, then consider supporting installation for multiple Python versions. Please read section "Types of packages" in documentation [1]. - Ensure that the ebuilds do not use deprecated functions or variables. - Please check if Python 3 is supported by this package. You can temporarily set Python 3 as main active version of Python to properly test if this package supports Python 3. - If this package does not support Python 3: - Specify dependency on Python 2. You can use PYTHON_DEPEND helper variable, which should be set before inheriting of python eclass. - If this package cannot support installation for multiple versions of Python, then set active version of Python using python_set_active_version(). - Ensure that shebangs in installed scripts specify correct version of Python. If shebangs are too generic (e.g. '#!/usr/bin/python'), then you can use python_convert_shebangs() to convert shebangs. (Wrapper scripts generated by python_generate_wrapper_scripts() do not require any changes.) - To ensure that changes applied to the ebuilds are sufficient, please temporarily set Python 3 as main active version of Python and test if this package can be properly installed and if it works at run time. Please see documentation [1] for more details. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/Python/developersguide.xml
