Hi,

Yes your help is greatly appreciated. First, don't forget to register to
the mailing list in order to post here directly.

The easiest way to get a development environment is to get a linux
distribution that already provides GCompris and install the development
packages for GCompris. For example, on Ubuntu or Debian, you just run
the command: apt-get build-dep gcompris

If you don't want to do that way so fast, the animation activity is
written in python and there are probably some traces in the console
about what went wrong in the loading.

Let us know what you find,

Bruno.
