ValueError: insecure string pickle

[dreamtheater]

A friend of mine gave me his movie db from his windows version of griffith. I'm using the linux version. I copied all the files (/posters, griffith.gri and griffith.conf) to .griffith. Now, when I try to start griffith, I get the following output:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/griffith", line 615, in ?
    griffith = Griffith()
  File "/usr/bin/griffith", line 580, in __init__

    initialize.locations(self)

    self.config = config.Config()
  File "/usr/lib/griffith/config.py", line 34, in __init__
    if not self.load():

    self.config=pickle.load(ifi)

    dispatch[key](self)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/pickle.py", line 980, in load_string
    raise ValueError, "insecure string pickle"
ValueError: insecure string pickle

I can't figure out what could be the reason for this. Can someone give me a hint?

Thanks in advance!

Try to use your own griffith.conf file (the one, you're using on Linux)

Humm....

Also, try to replace your config.py file with this one http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/*checkout*/griffith/griffith/lib/config.py and see if it helps. Let me know the result, please.

When I'm using the linux griffith.conf file, the error doesn't occur anymore but the program won't start either.

Replacing the config.py file with the one suggested unfortunately does not change anything (neither with the windows config file, nor wth the linux config file)
