Hmpf. Reminds me of the odd situation of pygtk in Debian. Currently the gtk 1.2 bindings are still the default. Probably that should be fixed. > Here is a list of the debs I have installed. This throws up the question if you need the gtk 1.2 or 2.0 bindings for that tool... > Here is the build error I get. > checking for gtk.py... no > configure: error: > **** The python interpreter can't find the python bindings for gtk. Argh. Whoever wrote that script should be larted. Because the error message does not match reality. In fact, configure.in does not ask the python interpreter to find gtk.py: dnl Check if python bindings for gtk are installed AC_CHECK_PROG(have_pygtk, gtk.py, yes, no, $PYTHON_SITE_DIR) if test "x$have_pygtk" != xyes then AC_MSG_ERROR([ **** The python interpreter can't find the python bindings for gtk.]) fi Where does that call python? In fact, even $PYTHON_SITE_DIR does not make much sense. In realitas python searches in a number of paths which can be adjusted by throwing a file with extension .pth in there, like python-gtk does: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -L python-gtk|grep pygtk.pth /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pygtk.pth [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pygtk.pth gtk-1.2 This results in the following search list in python: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ python -c "import sys; print sys.path" ['', '/usr/lib/python2.2', '/usr/lib/python2.2/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.2/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages', '/usr/local/lib/site-python', '/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/Numeric', '/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk-1.2', '/usr/lib/site-python'] This is what the script should check for. Or, just use python to figure out the path: code=" import sys try: import gtk except ImportError: sys.exit(1) except: sys.exit(0) sys.exit(0)" if $PYTHON -c "$code"; then AC_MSG_RESULT(yes) else AC_MSG_ERROR("no gtk.py found") fi Something along the lines - did not write autoconf for a while...
