Re: [Straw-devel] Straw 0.21.2 fails on startup

[Scott Douglas-Watson]

Try adding /usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk-2.0 to your 
PYTHONPATH enviroment variable (using a colon as a separator). eg. based 
on your previous posting of your PYTHONPATH:

PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages:/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk-2.0

The python man pages will provide some more details on the python 
environment variables.

Cheers,
Scott

PS. Hope you don't mind me CCing the list (keeps a record for other 
users that might have a similar problem)
