GTK+ and Glade versions

[Theo Carr-Brion-2]

The installation instructions suggest using GTK+ and glade from
http://gladewin32.sf.net/. However the only versions are GTK2.12.9 which
has the search box bug which is really anoying and Glade 3.4.3 which
does not appear to work with gramps.

I would like to use a newer version of GTK+ such as 2.14 but how do I
get a version of Glade to work with this? I tried a while back and could
not get anything to work. I would like to have another go.

Thanks,

Theo

Hi Theo,

I noticed that gladewin32 does not seem to be updating there front page
anymore?
Try http://sourceforge.net/projects/gladewin32/files/  you should find 3.6.1

Also have a look at look at http://glade.gnome.org/ , they now seem to
be distributing windows binaries, however when I tried version 3.6.7   I
had a problem with the icon images in Glade itself, but it's been a
while and YMMV, maybe I didn't have something set up properly.

The only reason for installing GLade is to get libglade dll, not sure if
the newer 3.6 series of Glade are supplying the DLL anymore.

good luck
Steve

Thanks for your reply. You make it sound easy but I can't make it work.
I can make gramps install but it will not run.

I tried glade 3.6.1 but it does not have libglade-2.0-0.dll that I think
gramps needs. I tried installing GTK from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk-win/ but this does not have glade.
Adding libglade-2.0-0.dll does not appear to be enough. I tried adding a
few more files that looked like they belonged to glade but it still did
not work.

When I run gramps it just fails to start, no error message. It works
fine with the old GTK/Glade recommended so my python is OK.

I would like a newer version of GTK to get round a bug in Gramps and to
use with Gimp. I have seen messages on this list saying people are
running newer versions so it must be possible.

Sorry, .. I was not trying to make it sound easy. I know how much of a
struggle things can be at times.

Yes, I also believe that Gramps still need libglade.
Where are you copying libglade dll to ?
I have installed my gtk in GTK2-runtime, so I put libglade in the
runtime bin directory.  C:\Program Files\GTK2-Runtime\bin

Try running gramps from the command prompt, it might tell you whats missing.

 - start command prompt
 - cd to the location you installed gramps (i.e. c:\gramps)
 - then either gramps.py  (if python is on your path) or python
gramps.py - any error messages?

I thought (I may be wrong) that GIMP comes bundled with it's own version
of GTK, and was independant of any installed GTK on the HD.
i.e. when I look at C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin I see files such as  
libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll & libgobject-2.0-0.dll


I have a system I need to get GRAMPS running on, .... so I might upgrade
the GTK as well see if I have similar problems.


Cheers
Steve

I have finally got it sorted.

I installed:

python-2.6.3.msi
pycairo-1.4.12-2.win32-py2.6.exe
pyenchant-1.5.3.win32.exe
pygobject-2.14.2-2.win32-py2.6.exe
pygtk-2.12.1-3.win32-py2.6.exe
PyGTKSpell-2.25.3.win32-py2.6.exe
gtk2-runtime-2.16.6-2009-09-12-ash.exe
gramps-3.1.2-1.exe

Gramps still would not run. The only error from the command line said
lib glade could not be loaded. Eventually, by trial and error and
guessing, I found I needed to copy the following to the GTK\bin directory:

libglade-2.0-0.dll
libxml2.dll

I got these from the recommended GTK/Glade install.

I now have a working Gramps with the annoying find bug fixed.

Thank you for your help.

Theo
