SOLVED gdesklets install question SOLVED

[fofo412]

hey everyone! i hope 3.0RC2 is working out well for everyone!

I had a general question about an install since I am still new to linux. I have emerged gdesklets using kuroo, and it worked out ok. I ran this command and the output is listed below. Kuroo says I have a newer version of pythonorbit installed. What do I need to do to run the desklets?

thanks!




highway@superstar ~ $ /usr/bin/gdesklets start

You're running gDesklets for the first time.
gDesklets will start a requirements check now...

Checking requirements:
- sys ... found
- xml.parsers.expat ... found
- xml.sax ... found
- gtk ... found
- ORBit ... found
Version check failed.

ORBit python bindings (pyorbit) version == 2.0.1 are required.

Please make sure that the required software is installed.
Also try to avoid having multiple versions of a library/binding on your system.gDesklets won't work if you don't have all necessary dependencies installed
on your system.

THE STARTUP WILL BE CANCELLED NOW!

emerge pyorbit

That should fix the problem, run as root in the command line (this is the same as using kuroo)...surprised it didn't emerge that also. Also, if it still is happening, you may need to create some symlinks to fix the problem (where is the programlooking for it to be installed?) So find where it is on the system using find or something, and then do "ln -s /place/of/orgin /place/programming/is/looking"

Ok. Here is what to do.

Once you install RC2 in a terminal emerge --sync, and do your updates. Then open Kuroo, get it all ready. Once that is done, remove pyorbit 2.14, and install pyorbit 2.01 along with gdesklets. Then they work!
