I already updated my whole system buit that didn't work.. I also tried to install the gdesklets-callender port and let that one install gdesklets but that didn't work either. > > This what I get: > ------------------------------------------------------- > root@laptop [/usr/ports/deskutils/gdesklets] >gdesklets > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/X11R6/bin/gdesklets", line 10, in ? > from main import init > File "/usr/X11R6/share/gnome/gdesklets/main/__init__.py", line 37, in ? > from utils.i18n import Translator > File "/usr/X11R6/share/gnome/gdesklets/utils/__init__.py", line 1, in ? > from FileWatcher import FileWatcher > File "/usr/X11R6/share/gnome/gdesklets/utils/FileWatcher.py", line 3, in ? > import gtk > File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 43, in ? > from _gtk import * > ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so: Undefined symbol "PyUnicodeUCS2_FromUnicode" > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Do you have any idea what's causing this problem? > hi! ====== from groups.google (belongs to RH9 but should help here also) ====== Python on RedHat 9 is compiled with 4 byte unicode characters (UCS4), most other distributions use 2 byte unicode characters (UCS2). So if you install a rpm compiled on a different system, this error is bound to happen. Solution: compile the python module from source ... =========================================================================== please try recompile py-gtk2. if this dosn't help please send the list of your installed ports. franz. > I'm not a member of this mailinglist so please reply to s.smid (@dddd) chello (d.tttt) nl > > Thanks in advantage, > Sander
