Re: New pygtk and gnome-python releases

[Chris Chabot <chabotc reviewboard com>]

When trying to compile this brand sparkling new gnome-python release, i 
run into the following error:


/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. 
-I/usr/include/python2.2 -I/usr/include/pygtk-2.0

When removing this include, it fails miserably on all kinds of missing 
defines... which seem to be defined in gconf.defs? Any simple way to 
'fix' this?
