[pygtk] install pygtk from source with all its dependencies

[Ogi Vranesic]

Thank you Simon for your reply.

I had a lot of other problems to install pygobject & pygtk on suse (64 bit).
Than I tried with installing of ActivePython-2.7.2.5-linux-x86_64 in the 
directory /opt.
After it has been done succesfully I set all needed enviroment variables:
(I'm not sure that this is done correctly)

export PYTHON=/opt/ActivePython-2.7/bin/python
export PYTHONPATH=/opt/ActivePython-2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
# in order to find python headers:
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/python2.7

and than in directory pygtk-2.24.0 with ./configure, make and make 
install all seems to occur correctly,
but when I try to import pygtk or gtk:

ImportError: No module named pygtk [gtk]

Can somebody tell me what is wrong here or try to explain me how to 
install python & pygtk from  scratch on linux with 64 bit?

Thanks very much in advance.
Ogi
