FWIW I had the same problem today (also Debian, Python 2.1.3).
Recompiling wxGTK with --enable-resources --enable-prologio solved it
for me. At least I got it to compile, I'm currently getting segfaults
when I try to use it :frowning:

Is --enable-resources a new requirement for wxPython? A few weeks ago it
wasn't necessary

Yes, I'm currently testing changes to fix this. In the meantime you can add these flags to wxGTK's configure and you should then be able to build:

  --enable-prologio --enable-resources

The flags were recently added to wxGTK's configure and defaulted to off. The old style resources are being deprecated.
