Application "meld" is not working on x86 nor on amd64 On x86 when I try to start it I get: meld No module named pygtk Meld requires pygtk2.6.0 or higher. I have dev-python/pygtk-2.12.0 installed.

I forgot to mention: meld-1.1.5.1-r1 (stable) and meld-1.2 (unstable) act the same way.
I guess you ran python-updater before getting rid of python 2.4 ?
I did not run any python-updater (doesn't it run by itself). I have only python 2.5 installed equery l python [ Searching for package 'python' in all categories among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ ] app-admin/python-updater-0.5 (0) [I--] [ ] dev-lang/python-2.5.2-r6 (2.5) [I--] [ ] dev-python/gnome-python-2.20.1 (2) Though, I've found a solution for "x86" emerge -1 pygobject pygtk pycairo it fixes the problem for x86; thanks for help to Arfrever But AMD64 problem is still there.

(In reply to comment #3) > I did not run any python-updater (doesn't it run by itself). > I have only python 2.5 installed Must be recent, as you are running stable x86 per emerge --info, and I assume you didn't get it differently earlier. When you installed it, it told you this: If you have just upgraded from an older version of python you will need to run: /usr/sbin/python-updater This will automatically rebuild all the python dependent modules to run with python-2.5. ------ Please do what it told you to do :) You can not loose this kind of information in lots of upgrade spam thanks to ELOG feature imporemevant of (already stabilized long ago) portage, unless it's configured wrong, so you should be seeing them in ways that are configured for you and you should follow them.
running: /usr/sbin/python-updater doesn't do anything it exit cleanly so I must have run python-updater :-)
either that or it fails because there is no more python to update from (I don't know I didn't check the code). Please list what's under /usr/lib*/python2.4/, if there is anything more than 3 files then you probably need to recompile some packages.

yep that's what I wanted, now run qfile (portage-utils) or equery belongs (gentoolkit) on each files (not the .pyc or .pyo) to find out which package it comes from and re-emerge it.
Thank you for your help; I'm almost there. I've done as you suggested but I'm left with only few directories: # ll /usr/lib*/python2.4/site-packages total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-05-11 21:30 java_config lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2008-03-20 19:22 pygtk.pth -> pygtk.pth-2.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2008-03-20 19:22 pygtk.py -> pygtk.py-2.0 directory: java_config contains all bnuch of files that are belong to file: java-config; I recompile java-config but that directory doesn't go away. I think the reason is that java-config is linked against: python2.4 & python2.5 dev-java/java-config (/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/java_config/__init__.py) dev-java/java-config (/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/java_config_2/__init__.py) What to do with it and the two linked files: pygtk.pth -> pygtk.pth-2.0 pygtk.py -> pygtk.py-2.0
SOLVED! removing java-config and re-emerging it solved the problem with double linking. Though, I still don't know what to do with these two linked files: pygtk.pth -> pygtk.pth-2.0 pygtk.py -> pygtk.py-2.0
you can just remove them, these are generated by the ebuild but never cleaned up (or at least not for other python installations), I'll look into fixing the ebuild.
Thank you for all your help. Without your input I would not be able to fix this problem. I have three systems and all with the same problem, I don't remember if I run python-updater or not; I usually read through most of the important notes and have even PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="info warn error log" sending email to me so I can not explain how it had happen. There is a possibility that if there were many updates I have a tendency read it fast and it didn't catch my attention :-/ Anyhow, I think I'm not the only one with this problem :-/ I think it is spread wider that we might think. If somebody, that reports any strange problem like me run-onto a good guy like you, who can quickly trouble shoot the problem it will be fix in no time but not everybody is so lucky like me :-) So I think for the future python updates I would suggest the ebuild after finishing compiling stop and exit with a WARNING sign + message explaining what to do, similar like "emerge --depclean generates. In addition I think that this problem generates considerable amount of headache for many users who reports problem on the forum and/or reporting bugs, applying simple solution like I did "emerge -1 ...." this is a "band aid" it is not a solution to fix the real problem. So to fix it I think it would be wise to make some kind of python-updater-ebuild that will go through those directories on every Gentoo system generates list of files that needs to be rebuild and do it without user knowing it. If we don't do it the problem will get worse and all we see are a negative comments about Gentoo that it is disintegrating, people are frustrated as they don't know how to fix it, others can not help them as not everybody is aware of this potential problem. Thanks again for all your help :-)
