Hey, the path to your indexed clipart directory isn't set correctly in the configuration file. Make sure it points to whatever directory you just indexed... that directory should now contain an "index.dat" file; if that file can't be found (or is in the wrong format), you'll get the above error.
Ok, first of all on most systems where the clipart is installed as a package, then this file is not modifiable. I would recommend installing this index in a users' local dir by default and not dig into /usr/share/clipart for this. There is going to be permissions problems (as I ran into) on this...I think we must assume that most ppl. will be installing the clipart from a package as super-user.
Also, please reply to things on list :) I have done this... How can others learn if they don't know the answers from the clip art browser pro :)

I have pygtk, python 2.4, and pretty much everything else in place. I even indexed my clipart. What is the dealio?
