Hi everybody,
I am having troubles building wxPython 2.5.1.5 from the tarball.
I can build wxWidgets just fine (at least the whole ./configure; make
install;
ldconfig dance works fine, but I have not tested if the install actually
works).
However, when I try to build the actual Python extension (with python
setup.py
build while inside the wxPython subdir), I eventually get the following
error:
c++ -pthread -shared
build/temp.linux-i686-2.3/src/gtk/controls_wrap.o -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/lo
cal/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lwx_gtk_html-2.5 -lwx_gtk_adv-2.5 -lwx_gtk_core-2.

build/lib.linux-i686-2.3/wx/_controls.so -pthread

node@@WX_2.5' is a loop
/usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk_adv-2.5.so: could not read symbols: Invalid
operation
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Using linux slackware (linux 2.2.19) w/ gcc 2.9.3 and Python 2.3.4, and
I did read the archive post suggesting an upgrade of gcc, but this was
on a SuSE system, and I'd really hate to have to upgrade gcc since it
works perfectly with everything else I compile.
If I'm missing some crucial information, please let me know and I'll
try to supply it.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys are able to provide 
Regards,
