PIDA requires LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libpython2.7.so to run

Hiya,

attempt to launch PIDA gives the following:

[2011-09-24 19:49] WARNING: pida.svc.window: Can't open window state file /home/gour/.pida2/settings/workspaces/default/window.state.json

PIDA devs accuse Arch for doing strange things ("f***ed up python or pygtk build "), but I do not see anything strange in py(gtk) builds.

In the meantime, I've discovered that this helps:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libpython2.7.so pida

but I wonder why it should be required?

Any idea?

I'm running into the same issue.  Thanks for the workaround!
