Installation of nautilus-dropbox source fails

[dedanna1029]

I've downloaded and extracted both nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7 and nautilus-dropbox-0.6.8, to install it manually to Arch. 0.6.7 came from AUR packages, 0.6.8 came from the site. Both fail on ./configure with the following error:

Code: Select all

checking for GLIB... yes
checking for python... /usr/bin/python
checking for pygtk... no
configure: error: couldn't find pygtk

Yet, pygtk is installed:

Code: Select all

[root@dedanna nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7]# pacman -Q pygtk
pygtk 2.24.0-1

There is no devel version of pygtk:

Code: Select all

What am I missing? What do I need to install, or is there a ./configure option I can use?

Code: Select all

# whereis pygtk
pygtk: /usr/lib/pygtk /usr/share/pygtk

It has to be installed manually, as yaourt isn't working right now for me (which is what Arch recommends; installing from yaourt). I can't install from it.

Thanks.

Code: Select all

$ urpmq -y pygtk
pygtk2.0
pygtk2.0-demos
pygtk2.0-devel
pygtk2.0-libglade


For configure/build software, I'd look for a lib* or -devel package, if something's missing.

[dedanna1029]

Thanks, but Arch doesn't do devel packages (I looked anyway though). It's all included in the main package. Example:

Code: Select all

pacman -Ss kernel26
pacman -Ss kernel26
core/kernel26 2.6.39.2-1 [36.12 MB] (base) [installed]
    The Linux Kernel and modules

    Header files and scripts for building modules for kernel26
core/kernel26-lts 2.6.32.42-1 [30.34 MB]
    The Linux Kernel and modules - stable longtime supported kernel package
    suitable for servers
core/kernel26-lts-headers 2.6.32.42-1 [3.70 MB]
    Header files and scripts for building modules for kernel26-lts
core/linux-firmware 20110512-2 [9.17 MB] [installed]
    Firmware files for Linux

    Kernel hackers manual - Section 9 manpages that comes with the Linux kernel.
extra/nvidia 275.09.07-1 [3.97 MB] [installed]
    NVIDIA drivers for kernel26.

That's what's making this so difficult to run down.

Code: Select all

pacman -Ss pygtk

I think i ran into this too, i think it had something to do with arch using python 3. I think you have to go in to the bin folder and change the name of python2 to python and python to python 2 to make python default again

[dedanna1029]

Code: Select all

ls /usr/bin | grep python
python
python2
python2.7
python2.7-config
python2-config
python3
python3.2
python3.2-config
python3.2mu
python3.2mu-config
python3-config
python-config

So I change which specifically to what?

Thanks.

[b1o]

Change the one called python to pythonb, and remove the 2 from python2.
That way if it doesn't work you know wich to change back
I believe that's what i did

[dedanna1029]

And then after it's installed, provided installation works, I change the names back? The installation's done btw. So, do I change the names of those two python files back to what they were initially, or ?

Edit: The answer is no. I did it, and when I try to start dropbox now, get:

Code: Select all

 dropbox
  File "/usr/bin/dropbox", line 41
    INFO = u"Dropbox is the easiest way to share and store your files online. Want to learn more? Head to"
                                                                                                         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Yup changing those back to where you said to got it. I have to wonder though if this will make things difficult for other programs to start?

Thanks.

Eh.. I am a simple foreigner but I do not understand what you did here:
Have you implemented the change b1o suggested Y/N ?

[dedanna1029]

Yes. Then it installed. Now, I need to know if I need to rename the files back to what they were originally. I did it to try it (changed them back to what they were initially), but dropbox wouldn't start with that error. So, I changed them back again to the way he had it, and it starts fine.

The problem being, with them named his way, I'm wondering if other proggies requiring python/python2 will now fail to start.

[dedanna1029]

Effing python2 is going to be the death of us all.

[viking60]

No b1o just made it it easier for the programs that refer to python to find the right python version. It will probably solve a lot more of your problems because other programs are likely to have the same problem. All new programs will refer to python3 anyway.
But you may have to change the settings for some old installed ones that need python2. But some renaming seems inevitable one way or the other:

[dedanna1029]

Yeah, like I said, the python2 thing is going to be the death of us all. Wish they hadn't started screwing with it. Anyway... wondering if this could possibly do something for the yaourt issue... *crossing fingers
