Can't get phatch to run

DrSlony 13 Sep 2008 15:42

I used to run Phatch, but for some time now I couldn't. I downloaded it again today, I did "python setup.py install" as root (no errors), and here is the error I get when I try to run phatch as a normal user or as root:

drslony@localhost ~ $ phatch
/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core.py:14240: UserWarning: wxPython/wxWidgets release number mismatch
warnings.warn("wxPython/wxWidgets release number mismatch")
Traceback (most recent call last):

import Image
ImportError: No module named Image

I use gentoo x86_64, and my package versions are:
dev-python/wxpython-2.8.7.1
app-admin/eselect-wxwidgets-0.8
dev-lang/python-2.5.2-r6
dev-python/imaging-1.1.5 (PIL)
sys-apps/findutils-4.3.13

Any ideas?

It seems like the python imaging module (PIL) is not installed correctly as "import Image" is not possible. Please ask on a gentoo forum how to accomplish this.

There is a flag I can set while compiling dev-python/imaging:
tk: Adds support for Tk GUI toolkit

Do I need that?

Hmm I just updated my stable dev-python/imaging-1.1.5 (PIL) to unstable for amd64 dev-python/imaging-1.1.6 and now Phatch starts up properly :]

I still get this error in the console though:
/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core.py:14240: UserWarning: wxPython/wxWidgets release number mismatch
warnings.warn("wxPython/wxWidgets release number mismatch")

This means something is wrong with your wxpython installations. Probably wxpython and wxwidgets have a slightly different version number.
