Description Biao.Zhang 2012-12-24 07:57:00 UTC 
I can not launch hob on my ubun-10.04, it seems saying "no PyGobject" whereas python-object has already been installed.

$ hob
FATAL: Gtk+, PyGtk and PyGobject are required to use Hob,
You have Gtk+ 2.20.1 and PyGtk 2.17.0.

$ sudo apt-get install python-gobject
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
python-gobject is already the newest version.

$ uname -a
Linux zb-d 2.6.32-33-generic #72-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 29 21:07:13 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks for this information, it seems the prompt message on the environment checking is not so clear.  Where are the hob users supposed to get such kind of information from?
I did not found this information from the hob manual.

The error message will be changed as:

FATAL: Hob requires Gtk+ 2.20.0 or higher, PyGtk 2.21.0 or higher, you have tk+ 2.20.1 and PyGtk 2.17.0.
