HELP: autokey setup/installation in RHEL 6.4 (Red Hat)

[Asim Delavenne]

So I downloaded autokey-0.90.4.tar.gz, but I can't seem to get it to work, and I'm unsure what to edit in order to get it up and running.

I'm on Red Hat 6.4 (aka RHEL 6.4). It uses GTK+ 3 (Gnome) by default.

So I tried to launch autokey-gtk from the terminal and I get this little error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/autokey-gtk", line 20, in <module>
    from autokey.gtkapp import Application
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/autokey/gtkapp.py", line 24, in <module>
    from gi.repository import Gtk, Gdk, GObject, GLib
ImportError: No module named gi.repository

Suggestions?

Thank you!

Purely guessing here: The newest AutoKey uses Python 2.7. And I don't
know if it was ever tested with Gnome/gtk 3.x.

Unless we get some active developers again, an older distro is probably
the way to go, but that may impact everything else you're trying to do.

Hey Joe,

Thanks for your reply & Good guess.
The Python version that came with this install of RHEL 6.4 is v2.6.6
In the mean time, I went through dependency hell (as my friend likes to call it) and got autokey-qt to run properly.

So I guess we could say autokey-qt works on RHEL 6.4.

I'll stay subscribed to this thread in case anyone needs help setting it up.

This was fixed recently for Fedora 19, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1008008.

Try installing gtksourceview3.

gtksourceview3 isn't available in yum search. Do you know which repo URL I should add to yum to download it?

Thanks for the suggestion

[Ingo Hoffmann]

I don't, I would have to check. If not available, maybe install it from source.
