Runtime error on startup: gtk.InfoBar not found

[David Wagner]

Using the bzr head (r3163), I get the following error when trying to start Exaile:

INFO : Loading Exaile 0.3.1.99...
INFO : Loading settings...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/exaile/exaile.py", line 52, in <module>

I get the same error with "exaile --safemode". I'm using Fedora 12, x86_64. Exaile used to work with previous bzr versions (though I can't remember how long it's been since I did a 'bzr up'; certainly days, maybe weeks).

Here's some information about my Python / PyGTK installation. I have the following PyGTK/Python/GTK-related RPMs installed:

pygtk2-doc-2.16.0-1.fc12.noarch
pygtk2-devel-2.16.0-1.fc12.x86_64
pygtksourceview-2.8.0-1.fc12.x86_64
pygtk2-2.16.0-1.fc12.x86_64
pygtk2-libglade-2.16.0-1.fc12.x86_64
pygtk2-codegen-2.16.0-1.fc12.x86_64
python-2.6.2-4.fc12.x86_64

gtk+-1.2.10-69.fc12.x86_64
gtk2-devel-2.18.9-3.fc12.x86_64

and more. Here's some debugging information from running the Python interpreter directly:

We recently upgraded our dependencies - pygtk 2.17 and gtk 2.18 are now mandatory. Your versions of these libraries are simply too old, you'll need to upgrade to fedora 13 to run Exaile trunk again.

[David Wagner (daw-bugzilla)]

Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately, Fedora 13 hasn't been officially released yet, but when it is released, I'll try again. In light of the new requirement, I've updated the Wiki page on downloading and compiling Exaile to reflect this additional information: http://exaile.org/wiki/Downloading_and_Compiling

I am on Slackware64 13.1 and getting the same error. The latest released version of PyGtk appears to be 2.16 according to http://www.pygtk.org/downloads.html

I am running
pygobject-2.20.0
pygobject-2.20.0
pygtk-2.16.0
pygtk-2.16.0
mutagen-1.19

on gnome (gsb64) 2.30.2

Py gtk 2.17 is available at http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pygtk/2.17/ though it is not linked from the download page.
