Hi.

Code:

$ wicd-client
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/wicd/wicd-client.py", line 40, in <module>
import gtk
File "//usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 38, in <module>
import gobject as _gobject
File "//usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject/__init__.py", line 33, in <module>
from glib import spawn_async, idle_add, timeout_add, timeout_add_seconds, \
File "//usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/glib/__init__.py", line 30, in <module>
from glib._glib import *
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/glib/_glib.so: undefined symbol: PySignal_SetWakeupFd

Strange here is that sudo wicd-client works fine. I'm confused by why does it work with sudo but not as user?

Code:

$ groups
wheel audio cdrom video games cdrw usb users portage haldaemon plugdev ivan

What should I do to make it work?

I would try;

Code:

emerge --sync
emerge -uND world
etc-update
revdep-rebuild
emerge pygobject
emerge pygtk
revdep-rebuild
