OS 10.6.2: crash Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display

[Joe VanAndel]

I installed dreampie 1.0 on Mac OS X 10.6.2, with Python 2.6, PyGTK and PyGtkSourceView from MacPorts.
I'm using X11 2.3.4, as shipped by Apple.

When I try to run dreampie, it reports:
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display

[Noam Yorav-Raphael (noamraph)]

Thanks for the report!

Can you also ask about this on other forums, and report back? Since I don't have a Mac, I don't know how to help you.

[Joe VanAndel (joe-vanandel)]

Turns out this message is only a warning. The real issue is:

========================================
Any idea what could be wrong with PyGtk?

It seems that GTK png support hasn't been installed.

How did you install GTK?

[Joe VanAndel (joe-vanandel)]

I installed GTK using Mac Ports. I don't see any option to enable PNG.

I'm sorry, right now there isn't much that I can do, since I don't have a Mac.
I hope you'll manage to fix it!

Noam

[Joe VanAndel (joe-vanandel)]

I'm still investigating with the mac ports email list. If I find
anything, I'll let you know.

I'm trying to run dreampie, a new Python shell, on Snow Leopard, using
Python 2.6. I'm using Gtk 2.18.7_0.

When I start dreampie, it prints:

GError: Couldn't recognize the image file format for file
'/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/share/pixmaps/dreampie.png'

The fix appears to be:
setenv XDG_DATA_DIRS /opt/local/share

(found on http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57468)

[Noam Yorav-Raphael (noamraph)]

Thanks!

[Noam Yorav-Raphael (noamraph)]

From what I read in the archlinux forum, it seems to be a problem with a MacPorts package which causes this environment variable to get the wrong value. This means that it is not a DreamPie bug.

This means that in order to work around the bug, you can add at the beginning of dreampielib/gui/__init__.py a line:

os.environ['XDG_DATA_DIRS'] = '/opt/local/share'

Is it ok if I close this bug?

Noam

[Noam Yorav-Raphael (noamraph)]

I'm sorry, the archlinux forum is not about MacPorts. Still, this seems as a MacPorts issue rather than a DreamPie issue.

[Joe VanAndel (joe-vanandel)]

You can close the bug, but it would be really nice if you could note
this work-around in release notes for users dreampie with MacPorts.
It took quite a while for me to find this fix, and it would be great
if other users of MacPorts could use dreampie.

You're right. I updated http://wiki.python.org/moin/DreamPieMacSupport .

Thanks for finding a fix!
