[Ifeffit] Installing gifeffit on linux

[Peter Pfalzer]

Hi all,

I recently installed the ifeffit package on my new Linux system. When I 
installed the python wrapper (including gifeffit) I didn't notice any 
error message, but trying to start gifeffit results in the following output:
---------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/local/ifeffit/bin/gifeffit", line 3, in ?
     GIFeffit.GIFeffit(sys.argv[1:])
   File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Ifeffit/GIFeffit.py", line 
287, in __init__
     self.createMenubar(self.root)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Ifeffit/GIFeffit.py", line 
393, in createMenubar
     command=Command(self.read_cmndfile, self.root))
   File

     self._addHotkeyToOptions(menuName, kw, 'label', traverseSpec)
   File 
"/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Pmw/Pmw_1_1/lib/PmwMenuBar.py", line 
201, in _addHotkeyToOptions
     underline = string.atoi(
   File "/usr/lib/python2.3/string.py", line 220, in atoi
     return _int(s, base)
TypeError: int() can't convert non-string with explicit base
-----------
(and gifeffit is not starting, of course). Does anyone of you have an 
idea what is going wrong? (I'm not a linux expert. Maybe this is a silly 
beginners mistake!)

Thanks, Peter
