[BitPim-devel] difficulty getting CVS version to work

[Yosef Meller]

Hello list.

I can run bitpim when I install it from the latest RPM, connect my phone
and see the filesystem. So I decided to go further and add support for
my phone (SK Teletech IMT2000, the winXP driver says).

I installed everything I should install from the list in www.bitpim.org,
and made sure I've got the right versions of things. I've built the USB
stuff. The program runs, and I get past the settings dialog.

But when I get the filesystem view tab on, and I try to expand the tree,
immediate crash: "Fatal Python error: GC object already tracked". After
that bitpim won't even start until I remove the ~/.bitpim file.

When bitpim is launched for the first time (before crashing) I get these
on startup:

(bp.py:25960): Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkdraw.c: line 412
(gdk_draw_rectangle): assertion `GDK_IS_GC (gc)' failed

(bp.py:25960): Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkgc-x11.c: line 654
(gdk_gc_set_clip_rectangle): assertion `GDK_IS_GC (gc)' failed

(bp.py:25960): Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkgc-x11.c: line 654
(gdk_gc_set_clip_rectangle): assertion `GDK_IS_GC (gc)' failed

etc.

I thought this is a dependency issue and tried to track it down, but no
luck. I hope someone can tell me what's wrong, I'd really like to
contribute.

Thanks,
Yosef.

It is presumably something to do with the version of GTK you
have. Try seeing if you can get the wxPython demo to run
fully first.

Yep. Upgradig from GTK 2.4.14 to 2.6.2 solved the problem. Thanks.
