Undefined symbol PyUnicodeUCS2_DecodeUTF8

[Manish Jain]

Hi all,

I am using Gnome on FreeBSD 7.1. A few days back, my gnome crashed and I 
have had to spend over 4 days recovering my gnome environment. Pretty 
much everything is okay now except for a few python-dependent 
applications (alacarte, for instance), which exit immediately with the 
following error message :

>  Traceback (most recent call last):

I have searched google/yahoo for any help without luck. I have rebuilt 
all python and gtk2 ports from scratch but the error continues.

Can anybody please point out the source and/or remedy for the problem ? 
I am using the python25 port.
