py-gtk py-gnome meld

Meld dies with a buss Error. This seems to be related to gconfd starting python and typing import prefs will cause a buss error.

gnome-session gives the error:

There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.

Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly.

The last error message was:

Unable to determine the address of the message bus

GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in

after getting dbus going properly gnome-session now works but meld still dies with the same error. starting python from a console in the meld directory and typing import prefs causes a buss error

import prefs

# prefs.pyc matches prefs.py import prefs # precompiled from prefs.pyc import gobject # directory /opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject import gobject # from /opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject/init.py # can't create /opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject/init.pyc import gobject._gobject # dynamically loaded from /opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject/_gobject.so Bus error

All versions of DBUS are known to have severe problems running on Mac OS X at this point in time. This is most likely one of those problems.

not a dbus error the error is bus error is very easy to reproduce with the following start python python then type the line import gconf python2.4 Python 2.4.3 (#1, Dec 5 2006, 13:20:37) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import gconf

Bus error
