[pygtk] installing pygtk on cygwin

[Patty Ackermann]

Michiel,
Again, I appreciate all your help. After ensuring my paths are set correctly
and even performing the import command in the same directory as gobject, I
get the following error:

>>> import gobject
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "__init__.py", line 30, in <module>
    from gobject.constants import *
  File "constants.py", line 22, in <module>
    from _gobject import type_from_name
ImportError: No such process

Do you think this might be an installation issue? If this is the issue, what
is the mirror that you use (this question should probably be asked a long
time ago)?

Again, thanks a million.

-Patty

Cygwin; it uses Windows directly and therefore doesn't need xterm. The easy
thing is for you to try on xterm and see if it works there.
