I have the same error on Scientific Linux after the update of python:

ValueError: No such object: <RemoteObject: zim.gui.GtkInterface after ./zim.py

and

glib.GError: Couldn't recognize the image file format for file '/home/hysech/Install/zim-0.60/data/pixmaps/attachment.png'
after ./zim.py

attachment.png opened in Gimp shows a picture/icon of clip

Installed Packages
python.x86_64 2.6.6-51.el6

Thanks in advance for the advice,
Hynek

I searched RHEL bugzilla but could not find any,

[Jaap Karssenberg (jaap.karssenberg)]

Could you file it as a new issue for zim in RHEL then?

Thanks!

Yes, I am trying to do that on RHEL bugzilla, but struggling to find right components.

Meanwhile zim 0.56 is working fine, just in case anybody needs to have a workaround.

[Tarundeep Singh (tarundeep)]

Done - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1163667

But, since zim was not displaying in RHEL6.5 I have selected Fedora el6 as the component.
