pygtk install holly demo

he answer will have two parts.

First is the installation of Cairo (and its dependencies) and Pango (with its dependencies). When both of those are installed in the right order, pangocairo will be compiled automatically by virtue of Pango finding Cairo during its configuration phase (it's libpangocairo-1.0.so).

Second is the installation of pygtk, which is the python binding which allows python to interact with these packages and includes the pangocairo binding. It requires pygobject and pycairo.

I had to install Cairo, Pango, and pygobject as part of this massive Xfce install guide. Here are the install commands for just this set of packages (and their dependencies) using the same mirrored files where possible, for convenience:

mkdir -p $HOME/src $HOME/tmp
export TMPDIR="$HOME/tmp"
export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
export C_INCLUDE_PATH="$HOME/include:$C_INCLUDE_PATH"
export LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
export CPPFLAGS="-I$HOME/include $CPPFLAGS"
export LDFLAGS="-L$HOME/lib $LDFLAGS"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/lib/pkgconfig"

export PYTHON=python2.7
mkdir -p $HOME/lib/${PYTHON}

cd pygtk-2.24.0
./configure --prefix=$HOME
make    # 22s
make install

Then, just run $PYTHON and you can import all of the following modules:

Python 2.7.3 (default, May 18 2012, 14:51:16) 
[GCC 4.4.6 20110731 (Red Hat 4.4.6-3)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import cairo
>>> import pango
>>> import pangocairo
>>> import glib
>>> import gobject
>>> import pygtk
>>>

Hope that helps!
