[Develop] Miro Under Gentoo Problems

[Paul Widmer]

 Unfortunately with pyrex removed there was no change in the errors.  And
re-instalilng both python and pyrex didn't change anything. I have
python2.5.1-r4 and pyrex-0.9.6.3.

The section of code causing the error below is this:
> File "database.pyx", line 531, in database.DynamicDatabase.next
> TypeError: exceptions must be strings, classes, or instances, not type

    518     # next() function used by iterator
    519     def next(self):
    520         self.confirmDBThread()
    521         try:
    522             if self.cursor is None:
    523                 self.cursor = self.objects.firstIter().copy()
    524             else:
    525                 self.cursor.forward();
    526             return self.objects[self.cursor][1]
    527         except:
    528             try:
    529                 raise StopIteration, "No next"
    530             except TypeError:
    531                 raise StopIteration

Any other ideas?  Ring any bells now?
