Request for dotpup of Comix

[cosmo]

I tried as hard as I can to install comix and its dependancies...no success...i'm too new with linux

Comix : http://comix.sourceforge.net/

try comical:

Comix would be more complicated due to the pyGtk-bindings.

I had Comix running under Muppy06 but can't get it working under Muppy07

[MU]

comix or comical?
Comical should work even without the wxGtk dotpup, as that is included.
Just tested it.

Run your program from a consolewindow, and post the errors you get please.

**************
sh-3.00# comix
PyGTK version 2.8.0 or higher is required to run Comix.
No version of PyGTK was found on your system.
sh-3.00#

In Muppy06 I downloaded, compiled and installed PyGTK without a problem. I have tried two different versions in 07 without success. In case it isn't obvious I have very little idea what I am doing.

I have no idea, as I did not change the Gtk-libraries.

Muppy007 basically only changed some startup-scripts (the way dbus is started, as it caused keyboard errors in 006).
And I added several more things like KDE or Acrobat.

So we only could say more, if you would copy&paste the exact errors you get.

I downloaded the latest pyGTK release (pygtk-2.10.0.tar.gz) unpacked it an ran ./configure and it craps out here:


*******************
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.8.0... yes (version 2.10.2)
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for PYGOBJECT... configure: error: Package requirements (pygobject-2.0 >= 2.11.1) were not met:

Requested 'pygobject-2.0 >= 2.11.1' but version of PyGObject is 2.11.0

*******************

The latest PyGObject 2.12.0 when given the ./configure command does its stuff ok but then the make comand gives this:

************************

and I don't understand that.

I am running Comical fine but it isn't a patch on Comix. Thanks for your help Mark.

Cheers,
David.

Hm, I have no experience with such XML-related errors.

Could you maybe use the comix or python you compiled in Muppy006?

Sorted - Comix is up and running in Muppy07.

First I installed comix_3.6-1_all.deb from http://packages.debian.org/testing/x11/comix using the debian installer.

Then pygtk and pygobject using Gslapt.

Then Python Imaging Library from www.pythonware.com/products/pil/#pil116

All functions are working correctly.
