I use Ubuntu 12.04 and tried to install MouseTrap. I tried to install it from the Ubuntu Software Center but when I open it nothing happens. Then I delete the files that had been created from the installation and tried to install it following the steps at the MouseTrap developer site.

Firstly I installed the packages that are said in the beginning of the page.

Secondly I followed the steps. And when I ran the command ./autogen.sh, I got the error 'configure: error: Could not find python module Xlib'. As it is said in the troubleshooting section I ran the command sudo apt-get install python-xlib but then I got the message that the python-lxml is already the newest version.

I don't understand where is the problem. The Xlib is up to date but I got the message that it could not find it.

I can not offer an answer to your problem but instead offer an alternative eViacam. You can read more here eviacam.sourceforge.net/index.php it has ppa instructions on that page.At one stage i recall reading that gnome was thinking of using eviacam as a replacement for mousetrap – damien Sep 7 '12 at 1:41
