I just joined this list, and with the express purpose of asking about this same installation problem. Unfortunately, I have already tried using the installers referred to above, but it hasn't helped. Let me add two other odd tidbits to my problems: (1) Sometimes "import gtk" fails the first time, but works if I do it again immediately afterward; (2) Even if it does work the second time, I can never successfully "import gtk.glade". I would appreciate any help I can get, as I have been banging my head on the wall trying to get this to work for a week. ===== Sincerely, Derek __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
