Source View plugin install

This question is based on the manual page at http://zim-wiki.org/manual/Plugins/Source_View.html

I've downloaded the gtksourceview and python-gtksourceview2 both via the following command lines

$ sudo apt-get instll gtksourceview python-gtksourceview2
$ sudo pip instll gtksourceview python-gtksourceview2

But it does not seem to be working since the entry 'Source View' does not show up under Edit>>Preferences>>Plugins selection.

Which install should I be running and is there anything I can do (in terms of apt-get commands) to ensure a proper install.

Is there anything else I should be doing? For example, I'm not sure what I should be doing with the location ~/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages

Do you mean that you cannot see the plugin at all in the list, or do you mean that you see the plugin but you cannot enable it?

If you do not see it at all, it has nothing to do with dependency, it means the plugin is not installed. Maybe you are runnign an older version of zim?

If you see the plugin, but it cannot be enabled the gtksourceview python module could not be loaded for some reason. But above install commands should be good enough to fix that.

REgards,

Jaap

Correct. I cannot see the plugin at all in the list. I am running zim 0.6.

Is this the latest?

No, we are on 0.65 by now - see http://zim-wiki.org/downloads.html

I'm getting this problem with 0.71.1 In Edit/Preferences/Plugins attempting to click Source View complains it cant find GtkSourceView despite :
 sudo apt-get install python-gtksourceview2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
python-gtksourceview2 is already the newest version (2.10.1-3).

and
sudo apt-get install libgtksourceview-3.0
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'libgtksourceview-3.0-common' for regex 'libgtksourceview-3.0'

Note, selecting 'libgtksourceview-3.0-doc' for regex 'libgtksourceview-3.0'

libgtksourceview-3.0-1 is already the newest version (3.24.7-1).
libgtksourceview-3.0-common is already the newest version (3.24.7-1).
libgtksourceview-3.0-dev is already the newest version (3.24.7-1).
libgtksourceview-3.0-doc is already the newest version (3.24.7-1).
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.

Zim 0.70 and up is based on Gtk3 and Python3, so you need
"libgtksourceview-3.0"
and the "GI" introspection files for that package.

libgtksourceview-3.0-1 is already the newest version (3.24.7-1).

A reboot seems to have solved the problem!
