checking for python... /usr/bin/python
checking if Python version >= 1.5.2... okay
checking local Python configuration... looks good
checking for python module gtk... no

[Comment 1 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-03-26 14:55:43 UTC]

does the command:

python -c "import gtk"

report any errors?

if it doesn't, can you attach /var/tmp/portage/dia-0.91/work/dia-0.91/config.log?

# python -c "import gtk"

[Comment 3 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-03-26 16:17:22 UTC]

looks like your pygtk installation is faulty.

try emerge'ing pygtk again

[Comment 4 Peter Ruskin 2003-03-26 16:24:02 UTC]

I *did* emerge pygtk dia

[Comment 5 Matthias Richter 2003-03-26 16:38:58 UTC]

I could get dia compiled after replacing /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk with /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk.

[Comment 6 Peter Ruskin 2003-03-26 16:52:37 UTC]

Me too, sort of:  I did ln -s /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk

[Comment 7 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-03-26 17:00:12 UTC]

you shouldn't need to do that, pygtk shouldn't put a directory there like that.

can you do:

qpkg -f -v /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk

and tell me which versions own that directory

[Comment 8 Peter Ruskin 2003-03-26 17:04:22 UTC]

# qpkg -f -v /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk
returns nothing.

[Comment 9 Matthias Richter 2003-03-27 02:12:48 UTC]

Though having unmerged pygtk and remerged it before two files had remained in /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk, most likely from a previous version, (from which version qpkg -v -f would not tell):
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         1326 Oct 18 17:49 __init__.pyc
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        68577 Oct 18 17:49 keysyms.pyc

Having removed this directory unmerging and remerging pygtk dia works flawlessly. The symlink was indeed unnecessary.

[Comment 10 foser (RETIRED) 2003-03-27 05:25:11 UTC]

i havent looked at all at dia2, but shouldnt the pygtk dep be 1.99+ (aka pygtk2) ?

[Comment 11 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-03-30 17:47:26 UTC]

yes, should be pygtk-1.99.x 

and also the gnome packages were wrong. should be fixed now.

matthias,
qpkg seems to have a problem with SLOTTED packages. those files shouldn't be there. try looking in /var/db/pkg/dev-python/pygtk-0.6.*/CONTENTS.

peter,

do you have <pygtk-0.6.10 installed? if you do, that might be the problem. you will need to emerge "=dev-python/pygtk-0.6.11" to fix it.

[Comment 12 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2003-03-31 00:58:36 UTC]

1.99.15 is gtk2

[Comment 13 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-03-31 06:08:02 UTC]

yes, this version of dia is gtk2

[Comment 14 foser (RETIRED) 2003-03-31 06:39:54 UTC]

let me say again, it is gtk2 :)

this can be closed now, can't it ?

[Comment 15 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-03-31 15:14:56 UTC]

yeah, i think its pretty much resolved .. 

btw, i told him to reemerge >=0.6.10 because older version conflict with 1.99.x.
