Re: [Fpdb-main] [fpdb-0.40.2] invalid syntax in fpdb_prerun.py

[Michael K. <koe...@ho...>]

Thanks, you got me on the right track.

I didn't edit any files as you suggested but I did 'eselect python set 1' to activate python 2.7 on my system. After that i got this error when running fpdb:
	ImportError: No module named Tkinter
'emerge python' with the 'tk' USE flag set solved this problem.

Now a GUI window showed up with this error message:
	File not found: wnck
The solution was 'emerge libwnck-python'.

In the end I edited the ebuild, so that portage would take care of those dependency problems:
1. add these 2 lines before 'inherit eutils games':
     PYTHON_DEPEND="2:2.6"
     PYTHON_USE_WITH="tk"
2. add this line to the RDEPEND section:
     dev-python/libwnck-python
Im not an expert, this is the first time i edited an ebuild but so far it works :)
