Re: [orca-list] problem installing Orca from source: can't find pygtk 2.0



Hi
Check your /usr/bin/python symlink. Make sure it points to python2 and not python3. It seems that, every time Arch updates the python package, this symlink gets forceably updated. If you don't need Python 3 for other projects, you can safely remove it. As Pygtk is a python2 module, Orca won't be able to find it if python3 is the active link.

Greetings!

After getting the Orca source(s) from GIT master this evening, I ran
./autogen.sh from with the orca directory. I got an error that it could
not find pygtk 2.0. This happened last night and earlier today. It also
happened when I used Arch Linux's makepkg command on the PKGBUILD for
the version of Orca I'm currently using, 2.32.1, I believe. Indeed, this
has happened several times during the past few months when trying to
install new Orca versions.

As I indicated, I'm using Arch Linux. It contains pygtk 2.22.0-3. My
version of python appears to be 3.2.

Setting the PYTHON variable, as the README file suggests, didn't help.
So far, neither a google search nor a search of the Orca wiki has given
me any info I can use. I'd be very grateful for ideas or pointers to them.

Thanks!

Al
