@Nick-Hall I have cloned the latest git repository (as i often do) and ran Gramps from there, but got this GTK+ message. running from your cloned repo of ‘Hebrew date handler’ for testing purposes, also ends up with the same message. Running in an English or Hebrew environment, does not changes the result. ![תמונה](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/gramps/original/2X/5/5a26e25690972b0e642ae3bfe6d8ef9d064a8eb5.png) ![תמונה](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/gramps/original/2X/5/5242b4ea286f35cfc9dba5d3cff098bb3f8ee0af.png) Unfortunately the solution suggested in [https://gramps.discourse.group/t/incomplete-gtk-installation-detected/1290/6] is not working for me. If that message is ignored, (en or he) gramps will start but the date editor is unreachable (i.e. cant edit dates) and probably some othere functionalities too. Running Gramps in debug mode (with any argument) ended up with the same result. I can however run Gramps 5.1.5 (an installed version) without any issues from the same machine… ---

Do you have the file `/usr/share/locale/he/LC_MESSAGES/gtk30.mo` installed? ---

looks like I’ve got quit a few of them ![תמונה](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/gramps/original/2X/b/b1bad22e379e779a6f0e36e008a3a47e02f71c63.png) But none in the path you’ve mentioned and all have different size… ---

In a python shell you should be able to run: ```python import gettext gettext.find('gtk30') ``` I get the result `/usr/share/locale/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/gtk30.mo`. What operating system are you using? How did you install python and Gtk? ---

Looks like python cant find any… although It seems i have GTK 2, 3 and 4 installed. ```python python3 ░▒▓ ✔ base Py at 14:54:29 ▓▒░ Python 3.11.4 (main, Jul 5 2023, 13:45:01) [GCC 11.2.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import gettext >>> gettext.find('gtk30') >>> gettext.find('gtk40') >>> gettext.find('gtk20') ``` > [@Nick-Hall](#): > > What operating system are you using? How did you install python and Gtk? Linux mint 21.2 and both Python and GTK got installed with Mints package. I did installed Conda Spyder a few weeks back and noticed it uses its own python environment, but I used Gramps many times since. ---

Pointing to minidonda3…I guess this is not what we need ha? ```python /home/avi/miniconda3/bin/python ``` I’ve got all these pythons installed as well: ![תמונה](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/gramps/original/2X/9/9fbcb63de93f443bd5e13312806b566ff5d904a5.png) ---

@Nick-Hall Thank you for pointing me to the right direction. Conda Spyder add a few lines to my .zsher, that did not defect my machine until they did… it’s all back to normal now. ---
