I have been trying to work throught the PyGTK tutorial using cygwin, but I have been having problems. For example when I try to launch the helloworld.py program (http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/ch-GettingStarted.html#sec-HelloWorld), I get this:
$ python helloworld.py No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig library is not correctly configured. You may need to edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual page and on http://fontconfig.org I located the files, but the content is Greek to me! Likewise, I tried running pygtkconsole.py program (http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/examples/pygtkconsole.py) and got $ python pygtkconsole.py 5 [main] python2.4 1360 C:\cygwin\bin\python2.4.exe: *** fatal error - unable to remap C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\cygXcursor-1.dll to same address as parent(0x18870000) != 0x188A0000 6 [main] python 1588 child_copy: loaded dll data write copy failed, 0x60084000..0x60085150, done 0, windows pid 2286452, Win32 error 5 Traceback (most recent call last): File "pygtkconsole.py", line 119, in ? interact() File "pygtkconsole.py", line 101, in interact gi = GtkInterpreter() File "pygtkconsole.py", line 81, in __init__ child_pid = os.fork() OSError: [Errno 11] Resource temporarily unavailable Any suggestions? I have been seriously thinking of just downloading PyGTK for Windows instead of trying to run it in the faux Unix environment of cygwin. -Chris _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
