I get the same error as post #2 and I think you should add python-dev to the required dependencies.
basicaly need to install build-essential python2.4 python2.4-dev python-gnome2-dev python-gnome2-desktop-dev libgnomecups1.0-dev python-dev

but I would like to be able to try this so if you could post a fix to the Crashing when trying to add to panel would be nice. Using Ubuntu Feisty Fawn

Help,
I got all the way to the adding panel applet and my Ubuntu panel is gone… How do I get it back?

I tried gnome-panel and all i get is an err msg “I’ve detected a panel already running, and will now exit” and nothing happens. I’m stuck, how do I get my panel back?

FYI, it was gone before I started this process. I accidentally deleted my only panel and need it back so I can continue this process.

Could NOT get this to work. It would crash every time I tried to add it to my panel.

Why use ‘sudo’ here ? “sudo tar xzvf gimmie-0.2.1.tar.gz”
