Description Andreas Volz 2004-04-03 05:32:45 UTC
Hi,

I use to examines of changes of code dev-util/meld.  Now do not have I it a few weeks no longer started and now it doesn't work any longer.  It say it needs a pygtk version greater 1.9... (exact message I don't remember).  I had however already installed the 2.0.  Now no matter, I needed the tool absolutely, so I installed pygtk 2.2.0 from ~x86, which involved an python OpenGL dependence from ~x86.  But it's still the same error message.  Thus I emerged "meld" from ~x86 (0.9.2) and now there is the following error message:

> meld
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/meld", line 81, in ?
    import meldapp
  File "/usr/lib/meld/meldapp.py", line 27, in ?
    import prefs
  File "/usr/lib/meld/prefs.py", line 52, in ?
    import gconf
ImportError: No module named gconf

What could I do to get meld working?

it needs gnome python, which deps on gconf -> so i don't know how this could happen

I too have this same problem with the latest meld 1.0 which is marked as stable
http://packages.gentoo.org/ebuilds/?meld-1.0.0

locutus bin # emerge -a meld
[ebuild   R   ] dev-util/meld-1.0.0

locutus bin # which meld
/usr/bin/meld
locutus bin # /usr/bin/meld
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/meld", line 87, in ?
    import meldapp
  File "/usr/lib/meld/meldapp.py", line 27, in ?
    import prefs
  File "/usr/lib/meld/prefs.py", line 52, in ?
    import gconf
ImportError: No module named gconf

But I have gconf it seems...

locutus ~ # emerge -a gconf
[ebuild   R   ] gnome-base/gconf-2.10.1-r1
