2.9.2.4 on Ubuntu 10.10 install

Werner · October 4, 2011, 10:09am

I like to check here before I go down the road of trial-error install process.

- Got 2.9.2.4 and extracted it
- cd to wxPython-src-2.9.2.4/wxpython
- python2.7 build-wxpython.py --build_dir=../bld

I get some warnings and a BuildError:

Used Synaptic to install libglib2.0-cil-dev and libgtk2.0-cil-dev both version 2.12.10 and tried the build again, but same failure.

Anyone can give me some tips on what I am doing wrong or what else I am missing?

- Got 2.9.2.4 and extracted it

...

Used Synaptic to install libglib2.0-cil-dev and libgtk2.0-cil-dev both version 2.12.10 and tried the build again, but same failure.

Oops, above are not needed!

Installed the following:

- libgtk2.0-dev
- also loaded the tiff, jpeg, png and expat dev stuff to get rid of some warnings

Now I am stuck on "gstreamer":

I had this problem in the past.
Now I install too "libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-devel"
I'm not sure because, now I install many others packages to be sure nothing missing ...

I didn't need that one, but need libgconfmm2.6-dev (gconf was mentioned by Robin in some post I found with google), at the moment it is building, lets see how far I get.

Still some errors:-( .

At the end of running "sudo python2.7 build-wxpython.py --build_dir=../bld --install" I see this:

wx-2.9.2-gtk2 contains both _core.py and _core_.so

In "/usr/local/lib" I also have a bunch of "libwx_something" files.

Is this due to "site-packages/wx-2.9.2-gtk2.pth" not being created? If yes, what should that file contain?

It seems not to find "libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.9.so.2" which has been put into "/usr/local/lib" by the install with all its friends. What is the correct folder on Ubuntu for these files?

It seems not to find "libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.9.so.2" which has been put into "/usr/local/lib" by the install with all its friends. What is the correct folder on Ubuntu for these files?

that got resolved by doing

sudo ldconfig

As the Python I had manually installed missed zlib support and as Ubuntu now has a Py 2.7 in its repo I got rid of my manually installed version and installed the one from Ubuntu using Synaptic.

Now I get this exception:

>>> import wx
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx/__init__.py", line 45, in <module>

   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx/_core.py", line 4, in <module>
     import _core_
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx/_core_.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS2_FromEncodedObject

Googling a bit I found some reference that it could be a mismatch:

>>> import sys
>>> sys.maxunicode
1114111

So, I did:

python2.7 build-wxpython.py --build_dir=../bld --clean

sudo python2.7 build-wxpython.py --build_dir=../bld --install

But I still get the PyUnicode error.

So, deinstalled Python 2.7 and made sure that folders where gone, reinstalled it.

sudo ldconfig

ldconfig -p | grep "libwx" only showed the 2.8 libraries

did another clean build of wxPython, when I try to import wx I get the error the _core_ is not found.

sudo ldconfig

start Python2.7 again and on import I again get the PyUnicode exception shown above.

Any hints on what else I need to look at are very much welcome:-)

You've had a busy morning...

Python 2's unicode support can be built two different options, where the unicode objects are either based on UCS2 or they are UCS4. The source code unifies the two options by creating a set of macros in the API that calls one or the other sets of real functions based on how Python was built. Extension modules like wxPython use those macros and in a perfect world it all just works all the time. However, in the real world it's possible for an extension to be compiled thinking that Python is built the one way, but then at runtime it turns out that it is the other and you get errors like that. And on top of that, Python's default is the opposite of what linux distros usually use.

So in other words, the Python being used at runtime is either not the same Python that was used at build time, or the Python header files used at wxPython's build time do not match the build mode of the Python binary.

To further complicate things Python on Linux is usually built with the main interpreter and built-in modules being in a shared library, similar to the Python DLL on Windows. So that means that it is possible that running one Python executable could actually load the shared library from another build, if they happen to have the same names and the other shared lib is the first one found in the shared library path.

So here are the things that I would try to confirm this theory:

* Check if there is more than one Python2.7 installed, such as the one from the Ubuntu repository and one that you may have built yourself in the past.

* figure out which one of those is executed when you run "python" on the command line, and also check if perhaps a different python is being used to run setup.py

* use the ldd tool to see what shared libraries are being loaded by that python, and see if it's different than expected based on the prefix where that python executable is located

* You can also use ldd on one of the wxPython extension modules to see what it is loading.

If there is a custom built Python 2.7 then try to remove all traces of it and then clean and build wxPython again.

Actually it is been more of a busy afternoon:-)

* figure out which one of those is executed when you run "python" on the command line, and also check if perhaps a different python is being used to run setup.py

if I run python I get 2.6, I have to run python2.7 or python3.0 to run the "non" default one. Within setup.py there is the line "#!/usr/bin/env python" does this come into play here?

Is this a problem when doing:

If there is a custom built Python 2.7 then try to remove all traces of it and then clean and build wxPython again.

I only have one python2.7 executable on the whole file system which is in /usr/bin.

I have two python2.7 folders with .h files (same names but different dates, one in /usr/local/include and the other in /usr/include. Could that be the issue, as I suspect that the first one is the one from my manual install.

It is getting late over here. Tomorrow I will just get rid of 2.7 again and check that nothing is left from 2.7 is left in the filesystem and then start from there again.

Nope, still no joy. Just deleted that folder and did a clean/build/install again.

This morning I de-installed Py2.7 again and then did a build using Py 2.6 before installing Py 2.7 again.

I checked the sys.maxunicode for all my python installs and they all return the same value.

Looking at the "ldd" output (not sure what I look at on there) I see that both Python2.6 and Python2.7 point to the same "libwx etc" files.

Robin,

Some additional info.

With Py 2.6 I run the wxPython demo, i.e. it starts I can select a demo, e.g. wx.AUI and run it and close it, but then I can't select another demo.

Don't see any traceback.

When I run Editra it runs fine, don't see any hang, but I see a lot of flickering, e.g. just typing in the pyShell.

Ok. Try running the build again and show me the command you use to execute build-wxpython.py, the first dozen or so lines of output from the script, and also a dozen or so lines starting where it executes setup.py up to the first couple gcc commands after that. You can use the prior wxWidgets part of the build if you want to save time (so don't clean its build dirs) as I'm just interested in the wxPython part of the build at this point.

Hi Robin,

...

Ok. Try running the build again and show me the command you use to execute build-wxpython.py, the first dozen or so lines of output from the script, and also a dozen or so lines starting where it executes setup.py up to the first couple gcc commands after that. You can use the prior wxWidgets part of the build if you want to save time (so don't clean its build dirs) as I'm just interested in the wxPython part of the build at this point.

sudo python2.7 build-wxpython.py --build_dir=../bld --install

If I run above with python or python2.6 it builds and I can run it but as mentioned in the latest post I think there are still problems. Unless there is an obvious solution to you this can wait as far as I am concerned - just wanted to start testing under Ubuntu work I am doing under 2.9 on Win7.

old_options = set(['--install', '--build_dir=../bld'])
sys.argv = ['--build_dir=../bld', '--install']
wxWidgets directory is: /home/wbruhin/devTools/wxSources/wxPython-src-2.9.2.4
wxWidgets build options: ['--wxpython', '--jobs=4', '--prefix=/usr/local', '--unicode', '--no_config', '--installdir=', '--install', '--builddir=/home/wbruhin/devTools/wxSources/wxPython-src-2.9.2.4/bld']
Configure options: ['--enable-unicode', '--prefix=/usr/local', '--with-opengl', '--enable-sound', '--enable-graphics_ctx', '--enable-mediactrl', '--enable-display', '--enable-geometry', '--enable-debug_flag', '--enable-optimise', '--disable-debugreport', '--enable-uiactionsim', '--with-sdl', '--with-gnomeprint']
/usr/bin/make
make --jobs=4
(if test -f utils/wxrc/Makefile ; then cd utils/wxrc && make all ; fi)
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/wbruhin/devTools/wxSources/wxPython-src-2.9.2.4/bld/utils/wxrc'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/wbruhin/devTools/wxSources/wxPython-src-2.9.2.4/bld/utils/wxrc'
/usr/bin/make
make install
/usr/bin/install -c -d /usr/local/lib

If I don't do a clean/install I don't see any "gcc" compile lines, so following is from where setup.py is run to the end:

  The installation of wxWidgets is finished. On certain
  platforms (e.g. Linux) you'll now have to run ldconfig
  if you installed a shared library and also modify the
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or equivalent) environment variable.

wxWidgets comes with no guarantees and doesn't claim
to be suitable for any purpose.

If I don't do a clean/install I don't see any "gcc" compile lines, so
following is from where setup.py is run to the end:

Ok, let's try it once more. Please remove the wxPython/build folder
and run the build again, capturing the lines starting with the
setup.py command.

One more thing to check, run this and copy the output to your reply:

That looks ok...

Hhm, still don't see and "gcc" lines. If I do "gcc -v" I get this:

g++ qualifies too, however if the wxPython extensions are not being recompiled for some reason then it could be that you are still installing binaries that were built before you removed the extra Python 2.7... Did you try manually removing the wxPython/build dir?

There is yet another oddity in the setup.py output you shared. It seems to be installing wxPython extensions modules in two places. Here:

copying build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/wx/_core_.so ->
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx

and here:

copying build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/wx/_core_.so ->
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx-2.9.2-gtk2/wx

I've never seen distutils do that before, but then I usually don't install my development versions of wxPython so it would be easy for me to miss it. It may also be something to do with Ubuntu's distutils customizations...

If you attempt another build you should manually remove those two destination folders before doing it, and then see if you end up with both of them again. If so then I'd be interested in whether they both have a complete copy of the wx pacakge.

I've got a 64-bit Ubuntu VM that I can upgrade to 10.10 later, I'll see if I also run into these issues there.

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx-2.9.2-gtk2/wx

I noticed that the other day too, so before building again I removed all the wx stuff in dist-packages. It got created again and both these folders contain 71 items.

I've never seen distutils do that before, but then I usually don't install my development versions of wxPython so it would be easy for me to miss it. It may also be something to do with Ubuntu's distutils customizations...

If you attempt another build you should manually remove those two destination folders before doing it, and then see if you end up with both of them again. If so then I'd be interested in whether they both have a complete copy of the wx pacakge.

Just did (btw, I thought "--clean" would remove the wx and the wxPython build folders, but it only removes the first one) and now it builds and "import wx" works.

As noted above still have two copies of the "wx" folder under dist-packages.

When I run e.g. editra and type in the PyShell tab I see a "refresh flicker" on each key stroke and when I run demo.py I can only run one demo before it hangs - btw what is the trick to see the console window when one runs the demo on Ubuntu?

I've got a 64-bit Ubuntu VM that I can upgrade to 10.10 later, I'll see if I also run into these issues there.

The compile mistery is solved, maybe the build script default would remove both the wx and wxPython bld/build folders and one has to set an option if one does not want that behaviour.

There must still be something wrong otherwise the demo would work correctly - let me know if you want me to try anything else.

This is a known problem, and probably in the C++ code. I haven't tried to track it down yet myself though.

Hmmm... It just happened here too. I'll see if I can find out what's going on.

If you mean a terminal/command-line window then you can just run the demo from an existing terminal. Otherwise you can get a plain PyShell with F5, a WIT with F6, or turn on the stdout redirection with an option in the File menu, (which should be moved to the Options menu...)

Would have to dig through my change history but I think that it was
related to when the buffer had the 'fold' property turned on. I had
committed some fixes to the main text buffer some time back that got
rid of the flickering there by turning off the folding.
