Re: Question about meld installation on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 - ngettext error

["Stephen Kennedy" <stevek gnome org>]

Hi Chris, that's a really, really old version of pygtk. You can either
try a really old version of meld (maybe start with 0.6 or so).

Or get a newer pygtk/pygnome working on your machine. Of course the
way things are these days, it's probably easier to do a complete
install of a modern distro (ubuntu say) than to compile or find rpms
for pygtk!
