[Develop] Miro Under Gentoo Problems

[will]

The traceback is this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/miro/app.py", line 111, in wrapped
func(*args, **kwargs)
File "usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/miro/app.py", line 697, in 
checkMoviesDirectoryGone
if not self.moviesDirectoryGone():
File "usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/miro/app.py", line 900, in 
moviesDirectoryGone
for downloader in views.remoteDownloads:
File "database.pyx", line 531, in database.DynamicDatabase.next
TypeError: exceptions must be strings, classes, or instances, not type

I've seen that TypeError a couple of times over the last month when 
skimming through bugs and talking to people.  Does Miro require a 
specific version of Pyrex?
