Hello there,

At the first look I think you have just found a bug in guake =P

I think you're trying to compile guake with python < 2.5, and Py_ssize_t was introduced in that version. A quick fix for you is to use python 2.5.

I'll attach a patch, could you apply it and test if it works for me? To do it, just copy the patch to your uncompressed guake dir and execute the following command:

 $ patch -Np1 < py2.4.patch

Thank you!

it compiled, the errors shown have not appeared. now as i try to run guake this is what happens

[root@Calibretto guake-0.4.0]# guake

I think its not a guake error. Did you try to run guake as a normal user (not root)?

I'm going to close this bug since the first report problem seems to be fixed (I've just pushed the attached patch). If you think it is still a problem, please reopen this bug.

PS.: If the you're sure that the dbus stuff is a guake problem, please open another bug =D

Thank you!
