install problem on SuSe 7.0

wxPython Users

Hi all,
  I've successfully installed several versions of wxPython on various windows
and linux platforms, but I've run into a problem on SuSe, that I can't
figure out.

  We have Python 2.0 installed (originally we had installed 2.1b1, but backed
down to 2.0 hoping that might solve this issue -- it didn't). wxGTK-2.2.5
is installed (from source), and wxGTK-gl-2.2.5-1 is installed (from rpm --
couldn't find source for that one). When trying the command "python
setup.py build" it chugs along pleasantly for a few screens full of
information, and then barfs with the following output:

I've successfully installed several versions of wxPython on various

windows

and linux platforms, but I've run into a problem on SuSe, that I can't
figure out.

We have Python 2.0 installed (originally we had installed 2.1b1, but

backed

down to 2.0 hoping that might solve this issue -- it didn't). wxGTK-2.2.5
is installed (from source), and wxGTK-gl-2.2.5-1 is installed (from rpm --
couldn't find source for that one).

It's in the main source package. If you specify --with-opengl and configure
finds the GL or Mesa headers and libs then it will be built and installed
along with the main library. It's in a separate RPM because of its
additional dependencies.

When trying the command "python
setup.py build" it chugs along pleasantly for a few screens full of
information, and then barfs with the following output:

It looks like it is not getting the output of "wx-config --cflags" Did you
install wxGTK? (Run "make install") From the above it looks as if you did
since it's finding the headers in /usr/X11R6 (assuming you set --prefix for
configure.) If so, make sure wx-config is on your PATH and is executable.

BTW, is this the first thing it is trying to compile? If so then there may
be some flags in setup.py that are set wrong as it should be building the
core first and it would have the same problem. You probably want the flags
set like this:

BUILD_GLCANVAS = 1
BUILD_OGL = 1
BUILD_STC = 1
CORE_ONLY = 0
GL_ONLY = 0
USE_SWIG = 0
IN_CVS_TREE = 0

Thank you very much Robin. It appears that my big mistake was using "su"
instead of "su -". This meant my path wasn't getting set properly. I
rebuilt wxGTK using the --with-open-gl as you suggested and now wxPython is
builds happilly until this:
