Re: [Straw-devel] Straw 0.21.2 fails on startup

[Jonathon Jongsma]

I've had this same problem as well.  After doing a little investigating, 
i discovered that gconf (along with a few other modules) were installed 
in /usr/local/lib/python-2.2/site-packages/ and for some reason Python 
couldn't find them there.  Being a complete python novice, I didn't know 
exactly how to tell python where to find them.  Here's the output of my 
sys.path:

['', '/usr/lib/python2.2', '/usr/lib/python2.2/plat-linux2', 
'/usr/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages', 
'/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk-2.0']

As a quick fix, i simply make some symlinks from the modules in 
/usr/local/lib/ to the corresponding locations is /usr/lib/ until i 
didn't get errors anymore.  Is there an easy way to permanently change 
the places python looks for modules so that it always looks in 
/usr/local/lib/ ?  Is this even desireable?  Should i just physically 
copy the files from /usr/local/lib/ to /usr/lib/?

Note that I'm using 0.21.1 on Fedora Core 1.  I just noticed now that 
Straw 0.21.2 came out.  Will this fix my issue? 

By the way, thanks for the wonderful program,
jonathon
