1 hello list,
2
3 recently i began having problems when trying to run gaupol, a subtitle
4 editor. it fails thus:
5
6 Traceback (most recent call last):
7 File "/usr/bin/gaupol", line 18, in <module>
8 import gaupol.gtk
9 File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gaupol/gtk/__init__.py", line
10 44, in <module> gobject.threads_init()
11 RuntimeError: pygtk threading disabled at compile time

14 yesterday i installed deluge (a bittorrent client) and it crashes with
15 the same error:
16
17 File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deluge/interface.py", line
18 1041, in start gobject.threads_init()
19 RuntimeError: pygtk threading disabled at compile time

21 i searched the web but i couldn't find anything useful. supposedly this
22 happens when pygtk is compiled without threads support, but the ebuild
23 doesn't have an USE option for threads, and when it compiles i see the
24 option --enable-threads flashing by, so i guess pygtk *should* have
25 threads enabled. any ideas?

27 best,
