Bug Description

I suppose this is two errors in one - my apologies.

Selecting the 'trayicon' plugin displays:
Name: trayicon
Author: unknown
Version: unknown
Blurb: An error occurred while trying to load this plugin's information.

pympd 0.07-1.1 running on Ubuntu Edgy

The trayicon plugin requires a part written in C and compiled to trayicon.so . I can see there are no .so files in the package.

What's funny, I had to move the .so file and chnage the path in trayicon.py to make the version downloaded from the pympd home page work...

Basically you need to download the plugin from the pympd site:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=142129&package_id=179834&release_id=432065

(make sure it's the same version that is in Ubuntu)
unpack it, go to the src/modules/tray directory and run make
in it. This will produce a file trayicon.so that you need.

Now, this file needs to be placed in the "modules" directory
of your pympd -- in Ubuntu it would be:

/usr/share/pycentral/pympd/site-packages/pympd/modules

Still reproduceable with pympd 0.07-1.3 in lucid and 0.08.1 from upstream.
Someone should report it in the upstream bug tracker http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=142129, but upstream seems to be inactive for 3 years.

There is a debian bug report about this with a workaround (see upstream bug watch), so needs to be fixed there.
