What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect: program running,
instead: first error window:

preferences window, and try to use an external midi player. Or try to  
recompile the program and check for error messages to see why the module is  
not built."
Next error window: See in attachment.

Linux Mint uses ubuntu that ships a development release with bugs.
It you can, try this later version  
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/solfege/3.20.3-4

I have filed a bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/926161

If you are able to manually edit a line, you can fix the line yourself. You  
need to run as root, for example using sudo or something. Below is the  
complete patch, but I you don't know what to do with it, find line 125 of  
the file /usr/share/solfege/solfege/esel.py. It looks like this:

             h = gtk.gdk.screen_height() *0.8

And change it to this:

             h = int(gtk.gdk.screen_height() *0.8)

Remember the white space count on the beginning of the line must be  
correct. DONT INDENT THE LINE.
