Python problems on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick)

[mapto]

Hello,

Thank you for sharing such a useful product.

I am trying to install Advene on Ubuntu and am having difficulties. Can you help?

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) which comes with python2.6. Apparently the Ubuntu Advene package requires python2.5.

I have installed python2.5 by running this lines:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python2.5

This allows for the installation of Advene from Synaptic following the instructions on this website ( http://www.advene.org/download.html#linux ).

However, when I successfully install, an attempt to run Advene fails, with the following message in advene.log:

Code: Select all

Advene v. 0.44 release 20100913 (svn 6845) run at 21/02/11 15:45:54 GMT on linux2
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/advene", line 162, in <module>
import gtk
ImportError: No module named gtk

I verified that and apparently "import gtk" works on my installation of python2.6, but not on python2.5.

Can you help me with a way out?

Please try to install the package from http://www.advene.org/download/linux/20101210/
It should solve the dependency issues. Do not hesitate to ask further questions and report any issues.
