DreamPie requires PyGTK, which, for Mac, requires MacPorts.

The installation instructions are:

  • Install MacPorts.

  • Install X11.
  • Download the source archive and unpack it.
  • Run sudo port install py26-pygtksourceview. This may take a long time (even hours).

  • Run python2.6 dreampie.

Please add here any comments or suggestions.

Also, if anybody volunteers to create a MacPorts package, it would be very nice!

GError: Couldn't recognize the image file format for file

Joe VanAndel experienced this problem, which caused DreamPie to not start at all.

The fix is was to run setenv XDG_DATA_DIRS /opt/local/share before running DreamPie.
