Hi,

I tried to build totem and get this error:

(cd .libs && rm -f libtotemscrsaver.la && ln -s ../libtotemscrsaver.la libtotemscrsaver.la)

I reinstalled pygtk but it did not help.

If wanted, I will post the complete log.

How can I proceed?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

Best regards,

It belongs to pygoboject.

totem[python] depends on gst-python which depends on pygobject. I have
no idea why it wouldn't be there...

.... actually I lied:

# eselect python show
# find /usr/lib/python* -type f -name codegen.py

???

The first thing is that you have packages installed against multiple
versions of python. The usuall thing after a python slot-upgrade is to
run python-updater and, when successful, remove the older python.

Having said that, your system python is python 2.5, but pygobject is
installed against python 2.6. You can't have that. System packages
have to be installed against the same python slot.
