I tried that and jhbuild bootstrap worked:-) However when I then tried jhbuild build pygobject it wouldn't build some Gtk-docs-related stuff (so I opted to ignore and continue), but also failed to build glib, py2cairo, gobject-introspection---and consequently pygobject. So in the end, I've been unable to install PyGObject into my local Python 3.1 and Python 3.2 builds. This is disappointing. I guess I'll have to wait until Python 3 + PyGObject for Gtk+ 3 is a matter of installing standard packages on the major Linux distros. Anyway, thanks to you and the others who tried to help. -- Mark Summerfield, Qtrac Ltd, www.qtrac.eu C++, Python, Qt, PyQt - training and consultancy "Programming in Go" - ISBN 0321774639 http://www.qtrac.eu/gobook.html _______________________________________________ python-hackers-list mailing list python-hackers-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/python-hackers-list
