[SOLVED] pygtk = python-gtk?

[unutbu]

akiratheoni, you have two python executables on your system: /usr/bin/python and /usr/local/bin/python. /usr/local/bin/python is an incomplete installation. The problem is that
/usr/local/bin/python is your default python, so when comix calls python, it is getting /usrl/local/bin/python which does not include pygtk.

Let's try renaming /usr/local/bin/python. This will make /usr/bin/python the default python and then comix should work. Let me know if anything else breaks... reverting is easy, or we might be able to fix it by adding the necessary modules to the /usr/bin (default Hardy) python installation.

cd /usr/local/bin
sudo mv python python-broken

That's it. Now see if comix works.

If after this change, you find that everything else continues to work, then you might want to think about deleting /usr/local/bin/python and the rest of the incomplete installation. Knowing how it was installed would be helpful at that stage, because whatever installed it might come with an uninstall script.

THANK YOU! It works!!

I'm gonna go and thank all of your posts, you've been a great help.

I don't think I'll delete the incomplete installation though. Intrepid is right around the corner so I'll be doing a fresh install when it's released and the problem will be gone. Thank you soooo much though. Saves me a lot of time because I had to boot up a Windows XP virtual machine for another comic reader to use.
