Not able to invoke newly built meld 1.7.0

[Dilip S <dileepaha gmail com>]

Hello team,

 

I recently installed meld 1.7.0 over RHEL5.

I built the following dependencies (and also its associated dependencies):

 

$ pkg-config --version
0.28

$ pkg-config --modversion pygtk-2.0
2.16.0
$ pkg-config --modversion pygobject-2.0
2.20.0

$ pkg-config --modversion python
2.7

 

export PKG_CONFIG=$PREFIX/pkg-config-0.28/bin/pkg-config

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PREFIX/zlib-1.2.7/lib/pkgconfig:$PREFIX/libffi-3.0.12/lib/pkgconfig:$PREFIX/expat-2.1.0/lib/pkgconfig:$PREFIX/libelf-0.8.12/lib/pkgconfig:$PREFIX/glib-2.22.4/lib/pkgconfig:$PREFIX/Python-2.7.3/lib/pkgconfig:$PREFIX/pygobject-2.20.0/lib/pkgconfig:$PREFIX/tiff-4.0.0/lib/pkgconfig:$PREFIX/libpng-1.5.14/lib/pkgconfig:$PREFIX/pixman-0.10.0/lib/pkgconfig:$PREFIX/fontconfig-2.10.2/lib/pkgconfig:$PREFIX/freetype-2.4.10/lib/pkgconfig:$PREFIX/cairo-1.6.0/lib/pkgconfig:$PREFIX/pango-1.20.5/lib/pkgconfig:$PREFIX/atk-1.13.0/lib/pkgconfig:$PREFIX/gtk+-2.16.0/lib/pkgconfig:$PREFIX/pygtk-2.16.0/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig

export PYTHON_INCLUDES=$PREFIX/Python-2.7.3/include/python2.7

=================================================

 

Now, when I invoke meld, I get this error:

 

$ ./meld
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./meld", line 71, in <module>
    import meld.paths
ImportError: No module named meld.paths

 

Note: Even meld 1.7.1 gives the same error.

 

Can anybody help me to get around this problem?

 

Thanks in advance,

Dilip S
