I get this error everytime I try to start Exaile

I get this error everytime I try to start Exaile.

If anybody could help I would appreciate it:

Code: Select all

sam@cant_touch_this ~ $ exaile
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/exaile/exaile.py", line 32, in <module>
    import gobject
ImportError: No module named gobject

[/code]

fixed. Just had to run python-updater

Tried that, still same error - very frustrating. Anyone think of something else to try? Thanks in advance.

sargek, if you updated recently, specifically to python-2.5, and misguidedly (like me) removed python-2.4 before running python-updater, try:

Code: Select all

python-updater -o 2.4

Apparently python-updater needs the/an(?) older version in place to work correctly if invoked without -o.

hope this helps someone,

Thanks for the tip, but I did not uppdate Python recently, I just tried emerging Exaile. I'll try your suggestion when I get home though, it can't hurt - it doesn't work now!

Hi sargek,

Do you have pygtk installed? I don't, and I don't see it being pulled in with exaile, although it is listed in the ebuild RDEPEND.

Edit: woops, i do have it installed. nvm.

Code: Select all

emerge pygobject pygtk

Try that, also you can examine this topic [1]. I had a trouble like this

This worked! The odd thing is it re-emerged about 25 packages, but I am guessing that python-updater also looks to see if any packages use python, and if python has been updated, it rebuilds anything related.

Thank you very much for your help, appreciate it!
