Can't get GTK to work

Nov 28th, 2005

I am still trying to take a look at the gtk GUI package and reinstalled the following:
gtk-win32-devel-2.8.6-rc3.exe
and
pygtk-2.8.2-1.win32-py2.4.exe (updated version)

I have it down to a simpler error message now. Here are my warnings and errors with the sample file base.py

Also an error box comes up ...
