Tried that before I posted the above Don. No go. Gramps MUST be looking
for the ui module elsewhere. Perhaps there is a path or execution
problem as well.

When you coded the gramps-main.py module did you have to declare where
the ui module is located or does python2.2 KNOW where its loadable
modules are located? Is there a .conf file for python2.2 or pygtk that
declares the location of loadable modules? My big problem is I know
nothing about Python coding.

The funny thing is that I cannot locate a ui.so or uimodule.so anywhere
on my RH8 system but it HAS to be there somewhere. Maybe under a
different name.

I appreciate all your help to date. This problem will probably turn out
to have a really simple solution in hind sight.
