i have installed menulibre to /usr/local and the editor doesn't start

$ menulibre
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)

It looks like you're using a locally-installed Python. You should use your system-installed version instead for MenuLibre. Otherwise, you'll need to build and install the gi libraries for GTK apps such as MenuLibre to work.

On Ubuntu- or Debian-based systems, the system package is: gir1.2-gmenu-3.0
