hello list,

recently i began having problems when trying to run gaupol, a subtitle
editor. it fails thus:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/gaupol", line 18, in <module>
import gaupol.gtk
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gaupol/gtk/__init__.py", line
44, in <module> gobject.threads_init()
RuntimeError: pygtk threading disabled at compile time


yesterday i installed deluge (a bittorrent client) and it crashes with
the same error:

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deluge/interface.py", line
1041, in start gobject.threads_init()
RuntimeError: pygtk threading disabled at compile time

i searched the web but i couldn't find anything useful. supposedly this
happens when pygtk is compiled without threads support, but the ebuild
doesn't have an USE option for threads, and when it compiles i see the
option --enable-threads flashing by, so i guess pygtk *should* have
threads enabled. any ideas?

best,

lj

I assume that you have tried the basics like /usr/sbin/python-updater and
revdep-rebuild -X -v -p ?

hi, thanks for your answer. yes, i did that, and i did recompile pygtk
several times and a few other packages that i could think could be
related, just in case. in fact i asked the list before doing the last i
could think of, that is emerge -e pygtk (well, the last i can think of
is reinstalling the whole system...)

Hi,

You might want to try this:

echo "EXTRA_ECONF=--enable-threads" >> /etc/make.conf
emerge -1 dev-python/pygtk


If things are still not OK you could re-emerge all packs which
depend on pygtk. To get a list of those:

equery depends dev-python/pygtk


Then you can remark/delete the EXTRA_ECONF line from make.conf.

That would enable it for all ebuilds. To do it foe one package you have
two options.

The temporary approach:
EXTRA_ECONF=--enable-threads emerge -1 dev-python/pygtk

The permanent approach:
mkdir -p /etc/portage/env/dev-python
echo "EXTRA_ECONF=--enable-threads" >>/etc/portage/env/dev-python/pygtk
emerge -1 dev-python/pygtk

thanks neil and daniel for the tips (always learning something new...).
unfortunately it didn't solve my problem.

so i finally did emerge -e pygtk and that solved it. it seems it was
something related to one of the 173 packages i had to re-emerge...

best,
