Description Yu Wang 2005-05-29 16:03:02 UTC
Distribution/Version: XP

#I have installed ActivePerl 5.8.6 build 811 and Gtk+ 2 for Windows 2.6.7
#(downloaded at http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html)

#My Gtk2::version is 1.080 

use warnings;
use strict;

use Gtk2 -init;

my $w = Gtk2::Window->new;
$w->add(Gtk2::Entry->new);
$w->show_all;

Gtk2->main;

__END__

After executed the above code, I always get errors below:

C:\Documents and Settings\Seven\Desktop\destcadmin>perl t.pl
Gtk-WARNING **: The specified module could not be found. at t.pl line 12.
Gtk-WARNING **: Loading IM context type 'ime' failed at t.pl line 12.

My OS is Windows XP and locale is Chinese (PRC)

Correcting the module paths found in this file:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\etc\gtk-2.0\gtk.immodules

solved the problem.

I believe this is an installation bug. The file gtk.immodules should be updated
with correct path information along with the end of Gtk+ 2 Win32 installation.
