Dear all,

The default version of Python on my machine: 2.7.3After reading the Build Instruction, I did the following at the command
prompt:$ *python2.7* build-wxpython.py --build_dir=../bld *--install*
And I get the following error at the end:
old_options = set(['--build_dir=../bld', '--install'])
sys.argv = ['--build_dir=../bld', '--install']

The fact that configure is exiting with an error is odd, it should just be noting that OpenGL is not available and setting a flag that will exclude the building of wxGLCanvas later. Perhaps there is more info about why it is doing a hard fail instead in the config.log. But either way, the obvious solution would be to install the -dev packages that provide the OpenGL headers and other development files. (Most likely you want some mesa-*-dev or lib*-mesa-dev packages.)
I noticed that there are also some other warning messages in your configure output about missing libraries. You should probably install -dev packages for them too.
