problems with embedded sample 2.8.7 3-10-08 build

Hi all,

I’m trying to build the embedded wxPython sample on Ubuntu Gutsy amd64.

Had a variety of troubles using the distribution .deb files, so I just downloaded

wxPython-src-2.8.7.2-pre20080310 and followed the instructions in

"Building wxPython 2.8 for Development and Testing.

Embedded finally builds, but throws a run time error:

wxPython-src-2.8.7.2.pre20080310/wxPython/samples/embedded$ ./embedded

[Debug] 06:51:35 PM: …/src/generic/splitter.cpp(742): assert “window1 && window2” failed in DoSplit(): can not split with NULL window(s)

Probably something simple, but my skills are not up to

debugging a combined C++ and python application at this time.

source and lib are unmodified, built today.

Ok, got a backtrace from the assert popup dialog:

ASSERT INFO:

…/src/generic/splitter.cpp(742): assert “window1 && window2” failed in DoSplit(): can not split with NULL window(s)

BACKTRACE:

[1] wxSplitterWindow::DoSplit(wxSplitMode, wxWindow*, wxWindow*, int)

[2] wxSplitterWindow::SplitHorizontally(wxWindow*, wxWindow*, int)

[3] MyFrame() /home/dradick/RPMS/wxGTK-2.8.7/wxPython-src-2.8.7.2.pre20080310/wxPython/samples/embedded/embedded.cpp:166

[4] MyApp::OnInit() /home/dradick/RPMS/wxGTK-2.8.7/wxPython-src-2.8.7.2.pre20080310/wxPython/samples/embedded/embedded.cpp:76

Any help, please?
