Ok.. so the best explanation *may* be that I'm an idiot... but I don't usually have this much trouble!
Before I get into the details, I noticed that Luke mentioned needing to test pythonwebkit separately from pywebkitgtk. Is it possible to get pyjd functionality without the gtk bit? Now.. you'll recall no doubt I followed the instructions here: http://pyjs.org/wiki/pyjamasubuntuwebkitgtk/ But I hit a snag with the 'get_window_type' method not being found in my 'gtk.Window' object class. Soo... Luke kindly pointed out that I needed several packages, one of which was python-gobject-2. I was running debian squeeze/stable and was not able to get python-gobject-2. I noticed that it's apparently only available for wheezy/testing http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=python-gobject-2 So.... I wiped out my debian squeeze/stable and tried wheezy/testing I tried again to follow the instructions but hit 'jpeg library not found' during the configure step in the pythonwebkit build (in spite of having both libjpeg62 *and* libjpeg8 installed). Then I tried again with Ubuntu 11.10 with the same result.... 'jpeg library not found' I even tried tricking the configure script into believing that the jpeg library was really there, but it kept complaining anyway. Ugh... bleah. Has anyone successfully followed these recently? http://pyjs.org/wiki/pyjamasubuntuwebkitgtk/ What am I missing? sorry for the trouble. -steve On Apr 6, 2012, at 5:49 PM, lkcl luke wrote: > On Fri, Apr 6, 2012 at 9:32 PM, Steve Spicklemire <[email protected]> wrote: >> Ok, thanks! >> >> BTW I can't seem to get these on squeeze. > > yeah course you can. the primary ones are "python-gobject", > "python-gtk2" and err... that's probably about it. for building you > also obviously need the -dev packages too. > > you're the first person i've ever heard of who has run into this > problem with pygtk2 (which _is_ a problem with pygtk2, nothing to do > with pyjamas) so it's really a matter of experimenting until success. > or perhaps raising it somewhere on a more appropriate mailing list. > >> What flavor/version of Linux... > > GNU/Linux, please.
