w3af_gui problem

[kataibrengsek]

please how to open w3af_gui?
when i was running the w3af_gui, the tools didn't appear, n when i was running in console, i find this command: You have to install GTK and PyGTK versions >=2.12 to be able to run the GTK user interface.
- On Debian based distributions: apt-get install python-gtk2
- On Mac: sudo port install py25-gtk
but when i try to install python-gtk2, it always says : python-gtk2 is already the newest version.
i am using backtrack4 r2

tks for help

?
odd.
try this:

cd /pentest/web/w3af
./w3af_gui

what happens next? by "tools didn't appear", you mean
Tools > Fuzzy/Encode/Export/Compare/Proxy aren't there or are grayed out?

[sickness]

Have you tried:

cd pentest/web/w3af/
svn up

and run w3af after ?

tks for the help

but seems it still didn't work, here the screenshot :http://i56.tinypic.com/fcusk4.png

Pretty weird, you could also try to remove w3af and then install it again.

I can't reproduce this. Can anyone else?
Op are you sure you are using BackTrack here?

@ Archangel-Amael: Op states he is using BT4 r2 in his first post so I will go at that.

@ OP: Type and post:

apt-cache policy python-gtk2

Should look similar to this:

python-gtk2:
Installed: 2.13.0-0ubuntu8
Candidate: 2.13.0-0ubuntu8
Version table:
*** 2.13.0-0ubuntu8 0
500 http://archive.offensive-security.com pwnsauce/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Next:

which python

Next:

ls -l /usr/bin/python*

Next:

locate python | grep bin/

And finally:

ls -l /usr/local/bin/python*

IMHO, tracking down this problem will probably result in a waste of time because who knows what one does once they download the .iso and start modifying stuff. You will more than likely have to do a re-install but the very least I can offer is to see if you have conflicts with versions of python installed on the system.

I can not reproduce this, neither can @Archangel-Amael, anyone else having this issue ? If not I suggest you try running it from a liveCD maybe it's something you installed or removed that's causing this.

[KMDave]

Can't reproduce either, tried it with a fresh installation, then updating everything and worked flawless.
