Thanks for the reply, Chris.

Python is installed.

I requested to the openSUSE packagers to package the gfx module and it
is already available.

BTW, the packaged version is the stable one and seems to be buggy
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/swftools-common/2009-07/msg00062.html)
with the gfx module, at least with openSUSE.

I wonder whether it would be better to release a stable version that
contains this patch.

Thanks for your help,
