I got this error after installing Meld on a new Karmic installation:

~$ meld
No module named pygtk
Meld requires pygtk 2.8.0 or higher.

I installed the latest version of python-gtk with aptitude but I'm not sure what version is actually installed. My python version is 2.6.

This is weird because I have another machine that runs Karmic and Meld without a problem. The only difference between the two machines is the one with the error is a 64-bit machine running a 32-bit installation of Karmic. Could that be the problem?

Is there an easy way to compare the file tree of an old git commit with the working file tree, in meld? git-difftool does something very similar, but I don't want it to actually do any diffing; the whole point is that the tool it is calling can provide a better interface for that. >>> More
