I'm posting this question here to see if it's a Python environment issue on my end or something in Gimp 2.3.15. I'm building Gimp 2.3.15 from source on a freshly re-installed Ubuntu 6.10 (AMD64) Linux system. Here is my build environment information:

gcc-4.1.2 20060928 (prerelease) 2.6.17 kernel (x86_64)
glib-2.12.4
gtk+-2.10.6
python 2.4.4c1

When I run the Gimp build, it stops with this error:

I searched BugZilla for "pygimp" and didn't find any build related bug reports. Is this possibly or probably an environment issue with my Python installation or is it possibly something in the version of pygimp that comes with Gimp 2.3.15?

Thanks!

Peace...
