How to install GTK+/PyGTK on OSX?

Question

I'm trying to install PyGTK on OSX 10.6 (snow leopard). I have followed this topic Where is PyGTK for Mac OS X?.

When I run the last command :

~/.local/bin/jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-python

I have the following error :

*** Checking out gtk+ *** [10/18]

  [1] Rerun phase configure
  [2] Ignore error and continue to build
  [3] Give up on module
  [4] Start shell
  [5] Reload configuration
  [6] Go to phase "wipe directory and start over"
  [7] Go to phase "clean"
  [8] Go to phase "distclean"

What can I do to solve this error ? Thanks.

I have found a solution. I think that it's a problem with some versions of libraries.

Just bootstrap with --ignore-system to be sure that all libraries with their correct versions are correctly installed.

jhbuild bootstrap --ignore-system
