Fwd:Meld problem

[Vasily Galkin <galkin-vv yandex ru>]

 Hi.
 It looks like now you have an exception earlier then before - the gobject-introspection subsystem doesn't 
work at all.
 And it fails in a bit strange way: module exists but lacks it important method.
 According to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=203480 it may be related to bad install of gobject 
introspection, and "import gi" imports "gi.py" from some wrong location.
 
 Did you install python and gtk in same prefix? It's a bit strange that in previous email you mention 
/python/v2.7.10/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gi/__init__.py and now you are talking about 
/tmp/gtk/tools/gtk/lib
 
 Some months ago there was a discussion that leads to successful installation of meld in non-standard prefix, 
and the key aspects of success was using the same prefix for all components
 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35784566/meld-glib-gio-error-no-gsettings-schemas-are-installed-on-the-system
 You may try to install all components in the same prefix and set environment variables mentioned there.
 
 Also in the case of exceptions related to GtkSourceView theme - setting XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable
 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/meld-list/2016-June/msg00018.html
 (you don't need this until meld window at least start appearing, it is the last stage).
 
 P.S.
 If you didn't received any messages that are directed both to you and to meld-list gnome org (like the on I 
linked in previous mail) there is a definitely email communication problem somewhere,
 because meld-list gnome org did received the messages like the one I linked below. Please, check you spam 
folder to ensure that gmail doesn't somwhow learn that meld-list gnome org is a "bad" address.
 
 So by now I'm sending this message separately to you and to meld-list to overcome this problem.
