Hello all,
I am installing wxpython 2.8.10 on a centos 5.4 x86_64 system. I build
wxWidgets and install in /usr/local/lib. I then build and install
wxPython by following the installation instructions that come with the
tarball. That is, I do a:
python setup.py install
from the wxPython subdirectory. My version of python is 2.4.3 (came
with the system). when I do an import wx I get the following problem.
[semeraro@cherokee ~]$ python
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Sep 3 2009, 15:37:37)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)] on linux2
Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.
import wx
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named wx
looking in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages shows:
[semeraro@cherokee ~]$ ls /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages

wx.pth contains “wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode” but as you can see there is no
such directory in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages. It is in
/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages instead. Is the install script
doing what it is supposed to be doing in this case?
