its when i install glade or gimp that it all falls over. I would like them all to be working.
I wont do anything else untill I hear from you.
many thanks
ok ill bite here goes
I removed previous installations of GTK+ and pygtk and gimp. Then carefully looked in Windows\system32 for any GTK+-related leftover DLLs, I found iconv.dll, libintl.dll, libgdk-0.dll, libgtk-0.dll, libgobject-2.0-0.dll, libglib-2.0-0.old, libgmodule-2.0-0.dll, libgthread-2.0-0.dll. there were a number of g*.dll but none looked sus.
I did not find libxml2.dll, intl-1.dll.
2. I Install the GTK+ runtime from gladewin32
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gladewin32/gtk-win32-2.4.9-rc1.exe?download
3. Run the Gtk-demo (Start menu/Gtk/Gtk-demo).
everythin looked good just a silly font warning
** (gtk-demo.exe:3908): WARNING **: Couldn't load font "Tahoma Italic 8" falling
back to "Sans Italic 8"
4. Try to run a simple helloworld example http://www.pcpm.ucl.ac.be/~gustin/win32_ports/binaries/helloworld.zip
yep looked fine clicked hello world button and it closed
5. Installed pygtk-2.2 or pygtk-2.3.x (your choice)
http://www.pcpm.ucl.ac.be/~gustin/win32_ports/binaries/pygtk-2.3.96.win32-py2.3.exe
6. From python (command line, python ide, pythonwin), try "import pygtk" and "import gtk"
yep no errors
7. download the pygtk tarball http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pygtk/2.2/pygtk-2.2.0.tar.gz
done and demo worked fine
I also tried my current gtk app and that worked also :)
but wait where is Glade??

yeah well been there tried that and gave up.Please let me know if you get it to work or you can update my twiki site

where i have documented my failures. the problem seems to be that the developers of glade,gtk and pygtk are all working at different version levels and putting things in different folders where others cant find the path. Most support here is for the linux brand. I think the only real way to solve this it to actually build or make the files on your win box but that is also a mountain of pain that I havent attempted to climb. I currently cant use glade but did get pygtk, gtk and python working fine.
BTW on linux it," just works"!
It looks to me from your wiki that you might have multiple, incompatible versions of the GTK+ runtime currently installed on your computer. Welcome to DLL hell !
Just for the sake of it, I have just installed GTK+ + pygtk on a win2k box and ran the pygtk-demo in less than 2 minutes.
By the way, I have updated my pygtk page to recommend the gladewin32 installer, even with pygtk-2.2. The gladewin32 installer seems to be the de-facto standard this days. It is actively and very well maintained.
So, here we go again
1. Remove all previous installations of GTK+ and pygtk. That means GTK+ from gladewin32, dropline, Dev-Cpp, gimp, gaim, you name it... Then carefully look in Windows\system32 for any GTK+-related leftover DLLs, in particular iconv.dll, libintl.dll, libxml2.dll, intl-1.dll and all the libg*.dll and g*.dll with a GTK+ name (gobject, gthread, atk, pango,...)
2. Install the GTK+ runtime from gladewin32
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gladewin32/gtk-win32-2.4.9-rc1.exe?download
Make sure that the "Register environment variable" is selected (this should be the default)
3. Run the Gtk-demo (Start menu/Gtk/Gtk-demo). Does it work ? If no, please post the error message in this thread.
4. Try to run a simple helloworld example http://www.pcpm.ucl.ac.be/~gustin/win32_ports/binaries/helloworld.zip
Unzip helloworld.exe and double-click on it (no need to open a console). Does it work ? If no, please post the error message in this thread.
5. Install pygtk-2.2 or pygtk-2.3.x (your choice)
http://www.pcpm.ucl.ac.be/~gustin/win32_ports/binaries/pygtk-2.2.0-1.win32-py2.3.exe
http://www.pcpm.ucl.ac.be/~gustin/win32_ports/binaries/pygtk-2.3.96.win32-py2.3.exe
6. From python (command line, python ide, pythonwin), try "import pygtk" and "import gtk"
7. download the pygtk tarball http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pygtk/2.2/pygtk-2.2.0.tar.gz
Untar it and try to run examples/pygtk-demo/pygtk-demo.py. It should work out of the box. Report any problem.
In a regular installation, only steps 2 and 5 should be required. i have tested that config on 20+ machines without any problem.
Hope it helps
Cedric
