Gengo and woopra plugin

I just found out, that there is a problem with running the woopra wordpress plugin together with gengo. Gengo is the multilingual plugin running in the background of this blog. Woopra is an external statistics program that has a nice wordpress plugin (which by the way is looking for some translation work itself).

Anyway, when i activate the woopra-plugin it says

Fatal error: Call to a member function wp_rewrite_rules() on a non-object in /var/www/oan/htdocs/wp-includes/classes.php on line 145

First, i thought it’s a compatibility thing with wordpress 2.7 (right now: “2.7-almost-beta), but it seems to work when i deactivate gengo. I found this quote on the gengo-blog which i am quoting since the site has some database problems:

If that happens, the plugin you just activated has been written incorrectly. It is trying to set its language too early, before Gengo has loaded. The solution is an easy one – the call to load_plugin_textdomain() in the plugin must be moved so that it is run on the ‘init’ hook. Do your plugin author a favour – drop them an email letting them know the problem and see if they’ll fix it – many authors don’t know that this is even a problem! Make sure you’re polite when you do, though. From personal experience, I can tell you it’s not pleasant to receive an angry email from a stranger, demanding that you fix something that you’ve released for free.

Hope, someone from over at woopra can change the code accordingly. Meanwhile i’m relying on the stattraq-plugin..

Installed gimp 2.5.0 under ubuntu hardy

I've been wondering, why hardy's repositories didn't include gimp 2.5.0. You should think that such an important software package would be updated quite fast, but maybe i'm missing something.. Luckily, I found a detailed instruction on how to build gimp 2.5.0 on ubuntu hardy. The nice thing: it worked.

Well, actually there was one package missing, which was easy to install via

CODE:
  1. apt-get install libtool

Now, i'd have to see, if it's worth it.. I hear, they're working on gimp 2.6 and to have a look at some of the ideas contributing to the gimp interface, jump over to Gimp UI brainstorm.
