i'm trying to install miro on gentoo but keep getting the error that my python version isn't patched. i tried installing the patch but it seems to have been made private. anyone happen to know another place i can get this patch or a possible workaround?

the error is below...

Don't really have a solution for you but are you confirming the suggested command
wget -q 'http://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=5470&atid=305470&file_id=144 928&aid=1254718' -O -|patch -p1 -d /usr/lib/python2.4does not work and there is no further error message?

Lets say you can't patch it but how about download the latest python. Would this do?

It seems the problem is not isolated to your install....

If you want to get your hands dirty download "chrpath" and change or modify your rpath.

Use at your own risk.

well, i've managed to overcome the python patch problem by just upgrading python...which always leads to more problems...

so here is my new error:

--

└( /home/spano )·> miro
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/miro/eventloop.py:34: RuntimeWarning: Python C API version mismatch for module fasttypes: This Python has API version 1013, module fasttypes has version 1012.

so i searched portage for fasttypes, no luck...not sure on how to set display for dtv, and the rest of the errors i have no clue on how to even approach fixing. thanks so far to saikee and johnt! i don't think i'd be this far without you guys! i know i've gotta be close to something on this with all the problems i've had!
