Unable to Activate Line Numbers in Edit

I am currently not able to activate line numbers in Edit. I have the following installed:

Python-2.4.2
gtk+-2.8.9
pygtk-2.8.4
ROX-Filer-2.4.1
Edit-2.0
gnome-python-extras-2.12.1
gtksourceview-1.4.2 (this is not currently installed, but available)

If I have both gtksourceview and gnome-python-extras installed, Edit does not start and gives the message:

"Fatal Python error: can't initialise module gtksourceview"

If I remove either gtksourceview or gnome-python-extras, Edit runs fine except that I can not activate the line numbers. Neither the gtksourceview nor the gnome-python-extras documentation are helpful. I have explored the Edit directories and files, but I cannot find anything that would tell me where it is looking for the python modules.

I am using a Linux From Scratch operating system. The only knowledge of Python that I have is how to run programs.

Does gtksourceview, and all of the things it depends on, have to be installed? Would someone be able to give me some more troubleshooting steps?

Thanks,

Dan
