I've downloaded and extracted both nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7 and nautilus-dropbox-0.6.8, to install it manually to Arch. 0.6.7 came from AUR packages, 0.6.8 came from the site. Both fail on ./configure with the following error:

Yet, pygtk is installed:

There is no devel version of pygtk:


What am I missing? What do I need to install, or is there a ./configure option I can use?

It has to be installed manually, as yaourt isn't working right now for me (which is what Arch recommends; installing from yaourt). I can't install from it.

Thanks.

For configure/build software, I'd look for a lib* or -devel package, if something's missing.

Thanks, but Arch doesn't do devel packages (I looked anyway though). It's all included in the main package. Example:

That's what's making this so difficult to run down.



Edit: And libglade is installed:

I think i ran into this too, i think it had something to do with arch using python 3. I think you have to go in to the bin folder and change the name of python2 to python and python to python 2 to make python default again

So I change which specifically to what?

Thanks.

Change the one called python to pythonb, and remove the 2 from python2.
That way if it doesn't work you know wich to change back
I believe that's what i did

And then after it's installed, provided installation works, I change the names back? The installation's done btw. So, do I change the names of those two python files back to what they were initially, or ?

Edit: The answer is no. I did it, and when I try to start dropbox now, get:

Yup changing those back to where you said to got it. I have to wonder though if this will make things difficult for other programs to start?

Thanks.

Eh.. I am a simple foreigner but I do not understand what you did here:
Have you implemented the change b1o suggested Y/N ?

Yes. Then it installed. Now, I need to know if I need to rename the files back to what they were originally. I did it to try it (changed them back to what they were initially), but dropbox wouldn't start with that error. So, I changed them back again to the way he had it, and it starts fine.

The problem being, with them named his way, I'm wondering if other proggies requiring python/python2 will now fail to start.

Effing python2 is going to be the death of us all.

No b1o just made it it easier for the programs that refer to python to find the right python version. It will probably solve a lot more of your problems because other programs are likely to have the same problem. All new programs will refer to python3 anyway.
But you may have to change the settings for some old installed ones that need python2. But some renaming seems inevitable one way or the other:

Yeah, like I said, the python2 thing is going to be the death of us all. Wish they hadn't started screwing with it. Anyway... wondering if this could possibly do something for the yaourt issue... *crossing fingers
