Status: None => Need Info

Follow-up Comment #1:
((Please make sure you're not runing MyPaint as root. It is intended to be run
under the account of the currently logged-in user of an X session, and this
should not be root. From your choice of prompt, you might be doing that -
sorry if you're not!))
I can't really help without knowing a lot more about the history of your
install, but you might be hitting traces of a previous installation into...
well basically any part of the PYTHONPATH, including the regular /usr dirs if
you've ever done that.
Try doing an post-install clean with the current git master,
# scons prefix=/usr/local install --clean
and then looking in /usr/local for traces of old mypaint installations,
especially any previous .so files. As you know, the library structure of
MyPaint is undergoing some changes at the moment, and traces of old installs
should be carefully removed.
$ find /usr/local -iname '*mypaint*'
Delete any MyPaint .so files you find if you've just uninstalled it.
It may be worth installing to prefix=/tmp/something_random if you want to
study the anatomy of an install and figure out what gets overlaid onto your
/usr/local tree :-)
The recommended approach for regular users is to use your choice of package or
install management system. FYI, I'm updating the PPA still, and 12.04 is
currently supported: https://launchpad.net/~achadwick/+archive/mypaint-testing
. I've also got it to work via xstow, if you're not a regular user but just
like being tidy :D
