I'm buiding wxPython 2.4.1.2 on solaris 2.8 following
instructions at
http://www.wxpython.org/README.1st.txt. The build of
wxwindows went fine. But during the python setup.py
install of wxPython I get this error:

Try configuring wxWindows without the --enable-rpath and then rebuilding/reinstalling it and wxPython. I think the linker is expecting a different syntax for rpath or something. Please note that you'll need to add /home/rubin/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in order for wxPython to find the wxWindows shared lib.
