I've been trying for three days to get Gdesklets to run on my FreeBSD 5.2
system. It's been the most frustrating experience of my very short
FreeBSD career. One dependency after the other crashed during make or
wouldn't run or couldn't be found. After consulting the
www.freebsd.org/gnome pages and running the necessary gnome update
scripts, I finally got the Gdesklets port installed and lo and behold, I
get the following error when I try to launch it:
# gdesklets
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/X11R6/bin/gdesklets", line 10, in ?

from _gtk import *
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so:
Undefined symbol "PyUnicodeUCS2_FromUnicode"
---------------------------------------
I have no idea how to begin to fix this or patch it and I'm verging on
giving up on the project all together (it's just that those desklets are
so damn cool!).
Does anybody know how I can solve this issue and finally start enjoying my
fancy desktop displays?
Thanks in advance,
Saket.
