Error: could not import gggears

[osman]

I have ubuntu lucid AMD64. I removed gggears using apt-get remove, and re-installed after updating the launchpad user id to gggears/main. I also removed /var/cache/apt/archives/gggears_0.1.1-0ubuntu1~ppal0_amd64.deb
I have gtkgl python bindings installed:
i python-gtkglext1 - GtkGLext python bindings
If I type gggears I get:

osman@destiny:/$ gggears
Error: could not import gggears

in python :

osman@destiny:/$ python

please, try
python -c "import gtk.gtkgl"

Do you receive any error message after executing this command?

[osman (osman)]

Yes, here it is:
python -c "import gtk.gtkgl"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtkgl/__init__.py", line 21, in <module>

ImportError: No module named _gtkgl

hmm, this is very strange, I would suggest that you run Ubuntu 10.04 from the liveCD, you install the package python-gtkglext1 and you try the command:
python -c "import gtk.gtkgl"
once again.

I think that something is broken in your system. Maybe because of the upgrade of a previous ubuntu version.

[osman (osman)]

OK. I added a virtual ubuntu 10.04 box. gggears and gtkgl work there. So you were right. My installation is hosed.
Thanks.
