I'm have trouble installing the plugin. I've unpacked to my gedit plugins folder and I see the LaTex plugin in my list of available plugins in gedit. But I am unable to activate the plugin - when I try the entry gets greyed out. Any suggestions?

ps. I'm on ubuntu 9.04 - and I beleive the default Python install is 2.6.

also: pyGtk is v2.16.1 - and I have Python gnomeVFS installed (could find a version number).

Are there any other dependancies I may be missing?

According to the INSTALL file in the downloaded package the requirements are:

- gedit >=2.15.2
- Python >=2.5
- PyGTK >=2.12
- GTK+ >=2.10.14

I haven't tried installing it myself yet but that is what it says.

I've double checked my installed versions of the requirements and it seems to be in order.

gedit v2.26.1
python v2.6.2
pyGtk v2.16.1
GTK+ 2.16.1 (at least that's the version of my libgtk2.0xxx packages)

I also want to point out that this is on Ubuntu 9.04 - 64bit. I've just tried installing on a 8.10 32bit system with out issue.

I figured it out. Python 2.6 does not allow imports by path. I got it working, then found out that it has already been patched in the SVN.
