Upgrade your python gtk modules to use the new python? By default, I
think python modules go in a subdir specific for the python version
(python2.5 vs python2.6), so a python only finds the ones designed for
*it* not for others.

Check the first line of the meld script: it probably specifies which
python interp to use, and you can edit it to point to any specific one
you like. Alternately, you can use the PYTHON= env variable (again
specifying a pathname to a specific python interp) variable during
make and make-install to set that first line of the script.
