[pygtk] installing on UBUNTU Hardy Heron

[Samuel Abels]

You shouldn't have to install this manually at all,

sudo apt-get install python-gtk2 python-gnome2 python-glade2

is all you normally need. And you definitely should not manipulate
sys.path for this. You may also try

sudo apt-get --reinstall install python2.5 python-gtk2 python-gnome2
python-glade2

to fix a previously existing installation.
