Hi, I am on Debian stable (i.e., have rather out of date libraries).
I want to try out PyGObject with my locally built Python 3.1 and Python 3.2 (in /home/mark/opt/python31 and /home/mark/opt/python32). I went to this page: http://readthedocs.org/docs/python-gtk-3-tutorial/en/latest/install.html and followed the "Installing form Source" instructions. The only difference between my .jhbuildrc and the sample is that I set my prefix to /home/mark/opt/gnome instead of /opt/gnome so I don't need superuser permissions. This is the problem I hit: $ jhbuild bootstrap ... lots of stuff omitted (e.g., gettext, autoconf) ... make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mark/opt/gnome/gnome-apps-3.4.1/autoconf-2.68' *** Checking out automake *** [3/4] jhbuild bootstrap: failed to unpack /home/mark/opt/gnome/gnome-apps-3.4.1/pkgs/automake-1.11.3.tar.xz So I unpacked automake myself in /home/mark/opt/gnome/gnome-apps-3.4.1 (and tar didn't complain so it isn't a bad archive), and tried jhbuild boostrap again, but got the same error:-( Can anyone advise? BTW Assuming I get past this problem, how do I install PyGObject for each local version of Python? Or is is simply a matter of: $ /home/mark/opt/python31/bin/python3 jhbuild pygobject and $ /home/mark/opt/python32/bin/python3 jhbuild pygobject etc? Thanks!
