Hi,

unfortunately I cannot help you, but maybe you can help me ;-)

I'm still struggling with installing PyGTK on OSX.
Did you use the system's Python (from Apple) or Python's Python (from
Python.org)?
I tried the route of jhbuild, but PyGTK only gets installed in the
system's Python.
Do you know how it can be installed with Python's Python using jhbuild?

Thanks,

Chris
Sure! no probs. Well first of, were you able to install the GTK+ OSX framework? you need that to be able to make PyGTK to work. ill send you a log of my jhbuild installation.

im not sure what the best setup instructions but here's what worked for me..

  1. download gtk-osx-build-setup.sh from:
     http://github.com/jralls/gtk-osx-build/raw/master/gtk-osx-build-setup.sh
     and save it to your home directory.
  2. fire up terminal and navigate to your home directory and run the
     command sh gtk-osx-build-setup.sh
  3. the shell script will warn you that ~/.local/bin isnt added to
     your envorinment variable to do this, edit your .profile file
     located at your home directory and /User/<username>/.local/bin to
     your environment variable. to know more on how to edit this file
     check out:
     http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2621/os_x_change_path_environment_variable/
  4. after that, do a ~/.local/bin/jhbuild bootstrap command. it will
     download and install some necessary utilities.
  5. download and install the beta version of the gtk+ osx framework
     at:
     http://ftp.imendio.com/pub/imendio/gtk-osx/Gtk-Framework-2.14-LATEST.dmg
  6. before installing the meta-gtk-osx-python, you need to build and
     install some other packages that jhbuild doesnt install
     automatically, so what i did was i installed libpng by doing the
     command: ~/.local/bin/jhbuild build libpng
  7. you also need to install libtiff so do the command:
     ~/.local/bin/jhbuild build libtiff
  8. and also gtk-doc is needed so: ~/.local/bin/jhbuild build gtk-doc
  9. and finally you can now install meta-gtk-osx-python by doing a:
     ~/.local/bin/jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-python

*** I hope that helps. this was done by the default username and by not doing a sudo command. ***
