That's my output when i try to run it. All dependencies are ok.

I had the same problem even though solfege worked in the past.

I wound up installing it from source code from the solfege web site without creating a package build, which means I won't be able to use pacman or yaourt to either update or remove the package. Going the configure, make and make install route is not recommended so you might want to try installing it from ABS or creating a package build. I believe I had the same or a different problem going the ABS route, but its worth a try since it will be easy to uninstall if it doesn't work, which is the beauty of a package manager.

You also have to install timidity and a soundfont to finish the job. The wiki on timidity is excellent and goes thru the process one step at a time.

Solfege is working now, but I'll see what happens when I reboot.

Now I want to see what I can do with tuxguitar which also stopped working.

Good Luck

EDIT --- Using ABS instead of the above
===========================

This worked for me, but do it at your OWN Risk;

Copy the solfege directory in ABS to another location lke you normally do with ABS and edit the PKGBUILD file and change the depends on line to:
depends=('desktop-file-utils')

It appears that one of the other dependencies may have caused the problem, especially the gnome-python, since most of the error messages had a .py extension.

Then follow the timidity wiki.

This seemed to work for me, but like I said, Do at your OWN RISK.

See edit of prior post if anybody is having problems.

Note that the solfege devs are aware of the problem, they should make a new dev release in the next few days and it should fix the problem.
