I installed the git merge-conflict resolution tool Meld using homebrew.

"brew install meld"

Following install, error thrown when attempting to fix a merge conflict. Running on OSX 10.9.4. Ideas?

Error in its entirety:

===================================

Couldn't bind the translation domain. Some translations won't work.

'module' object has no attribute 'bindtextdomain'

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/init.py:57: GtkWarning: could not open display warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning)

/usr/local/Cellar/meld/1.8.6/libexec/bin/meld:155: GtkWarning: gtk_icon_theme_get_for_screen: assertion 'GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed gtk.icon_theme_get_default().append_search_path(meld.paths.icon_dir())

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/Cellar/meld/1.8.6/libexec/bin/meld", line 155, in gtk.icon_theme_get_default().append_search_path(meld.paths.icon_dir())

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'append_search_path'

Did you ever tried running "brew doctor" to check your system? It can solve most of the problems, indicating that your problem might be caused by using a wrong version of python programs. It will suggest you to modify your path in ~/.bashrc

See this:

That is what I get in case of path conflicts:

meld Couldn't bind the translation domain. Some translations won't work. 'module' object has no attribute 'bindtextdomain'

(process:690): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gobject/init.py:115: Warning: attempting to add an interface (GtkEditable) to class (HistoryFileEntry) after class_init type_register(cls, namespace.get('gtype_name')) /usr/local/Cellar/meld/1.8.6/libexec/bin/meld:172: GtkWarning: Could not find the icon 'application-x-meld-comparison'. The 'hicolor' theme was not found either, perhaps you need to install it. You can get a copy from: http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases gtk.main()

I had to put /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin in my PATH. I did this by adding to my .bash_profile:

PATH="`brew --prefix`/bin:$PATH"

meld has got a natively compiled version on Mac OS X now. Check the github below:

https://github.com/yousseb/meld

And please do post back comments and suggestions. In additional, if you need to call up meld from other programs, you need to add yourself a shellscript to translate parameters sent from git to meld. You can look for one on Google.
