BUG: py25-gobject fails at runtime under Leopard (10.5.1)

Running KedPM in X11 gives this output:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Running KedPM with the CLI gives this output:

Second bug is corrected. You can selfupdate in a few hours to test again. I just added a dependency on py25-readline.
For the first bug, I can't reproduce on Tiger. Can you try uninstall/rebuilding from scratch the following ports: glib2, py25-gobject.

Just tried the CLI again, it is working now.

I have tried the suggestions for the first bug. I reinstalled the two ports using:
port uninstall -f <port>
port clean --archive <port>
port install -f <port>

but I am still getting the same message.

Could this be an issue to do with Leopards new implementation of X11?

I don't think so. Could you rebuild using the same commands py25-gtk? And if it stills fails, rebuild gtk2 + libglade2 + py25-gtk? As I'm not maintaining these ports, if it still doesn't work, you'll need to reassign the bug to one of those ports' maintainer, they have probably more wisdom than me on that matter.

Leopard's libX11 has a bug that causes gtk+ apps to crash, there's an unofficial update from Apples X11 maintainer available at ​http://www.x.org/wiki/XDarwin see if installed that helps.

I have tried all of those, still getting the same error.

I'm not sure how to reassign the bug though.

I have installed the updates as well now and I am still getting the error.

Sorry to assign this bug to you Yves, but I'm a bit lost too as to whom I should contact on this report. As you maintain py-gobject, you might be able to see where the error stems from? Thanks!

Hi, is there any progress on this?

[cwalther@…]

I have no idea what I'm doing, but I seem to be able to circumvent the problem by applying this change to py25-gobject:

--- gobject/Makefile.in
+++ gobject/Makefile.in
@@ -259,7 +259,7 @@
 CLEANFILES = constants.py
 EXTRA_DIST = constants.py.in
 _gobject_la_CFLAGS = $(GLIB_CFLAGS) $(am__append_3)
-_gobject_la_LDFLAGS = $(common_ldflags) -export-symbols-regex init_gobject
+_gobject_la_LDFLAGS = $(common_ldflags)
 _gobject_la_LIBADD = $(GLIB_LIBS) $(FFI_LIBS)
 _gobject_la_SOURCES = \
 	gobjectmodule.c \

After this is done, import gtk results in errors of the same kind from _gtk.so and _cairo.so that can be treated in the same way. Or, as an even quicker-and-dirtier workaround, use

cd /usr/bin
mv nmedit nmedit-real
ln -s true nmedit

while installing these packages.

Hope this helps someone find and fix the real bug.

It's working for me now, apparently thanks to [32469].

Workaround seems to work.
