Description John (J5) Palmieri 2006-08-01 21:14:00 UTC 
Description of problem:

During the ./configure step in brew or locally by running make i386
gnome-applets fails to find the gnomeapplet module causing specific applets to
fail to build.

If I run configure by hand with the same options the module is found and the
apples build fine.   

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. check out gnome-applet from package CVS
2. make sure you satify the BuildRequires
3. make i386
  
Actual results:

stock applet is not built and RPM exits with a packaging error

Expected results:

stock applet is built and RPM produces packages

Additional info:

going into the source directory created by make i386 and running the output of
rpm --eval %configure causes the gnomeapplet module to be found

So Nalin figured this out while sitting in a dentist chair contemplating.

import gtk

requires a display, 

import gnomeapplet 

calls 

import gtk

AM_CHECK_PYMOD in configure.in does 

import gnomeapplet
