I'm a Linux "newbie" myself, I use the latest Ubuntu, and so far I have not get
any
troubles running GMapCatcher.
Reading your description I see 2 potential problems:
1- it seem that when you unpacked the the tar.gz the "__init__.py" files where
not
extracted, I just checked the tar.gz and all the files are inside
2- something is wrong with your Python installation, it fails when is importing
gtk,
sorry but I honestly have no idea how to fix that.
According to DistroWatch:
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=xandros
the last version of Xandros was released in (2007/10/16), I will strongly
recommend
you to upgrade to something else...
We have an open issue to list GMapCatcher in the Linux package managers, see
Issue 96

I did not solve the Linux Problem but I installesd wine 1.1.33 and then I
installed
GMapCatcher ''in'' wine. Now it works.
This is maybe a solution for all Linux newbies like me.

GMapCatcher ''in'' wine!
I don't know?!?!? that sounds like a dirty fix, there has to be a way to get it
working properly.
My Linux experience is with Ubuntu and GMapCatcher works flawlessly, if you
like KDE
you should take a look at:
http://www.kubuntu.org/

Ok, I think wine is not known by everybody.
wine (http://www.winehq.org) emulates windows on Linux. By installing
GMapCatcher
''in'' wine I mean that I put the windows installation file
GMapCatcher-0.4.0.0.exe
and open it on Linux with the application wine. Then wine executes the file
GMapCatcher-0.4.0.0.exe like Windows would do, meaning it installs it in a
special
environment.
I can run GMapCatcher now on my Linux PC within the wine environment.
The original problem still exists. But that must someone solve who has more
experience then I do. I got some help by a friend but it is still not working. I
stopp working on that issue now and maybe will resume working on it if I have
more
Linux knowledge.
By the way: wine doesn't emulate Windows by 100% but it works with a a lot of
Windows
programmes.

I guess you are a big fan of Xandros Linux, and do not want to try kubuntu. :(
I did some research into this:
http://support.xandros.com/support_terms.php
the support they offer is very limited
also looked in the Xandros forums:
http://forums.xandros.com/
it seems that the forums are flooded with spam/advertisement and not doing much
to
support the community.
You could try posting a few questions, see if they can give you a hand.

This is a configuration issue in Xandros Linux not in GMapCatcher, I will close
this issue
