Version 2.5 Debian packages?

wxPython Users

Hi,

Does anyone know of somewhere I can get hold of working Debian packages for
the 2.5.2.8 version of wxPython? The version in the Debian unstable
distribution is only 2.4 and though the version in Debian experimental is
2.5.1.1 (I think) its basically useless as it seg faults all the time even
when you try to do quite standard things.

I think it would be wiser to try and compile from source rather than
hunt down an extremely experimental package.

Here is how to do it. Yes, it really works. All as root
and building the GTK2 version.

# apt-get install alien
# apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev freeglut3-dev python2.3-dev
# wget http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPythonGTK2-py2.3-2.5.2.8-1.src.rpm
# rpmbuild --rebuild wxPythonGTK2-py2.3-2.5.2.8-1.src.rpm
# cd /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/i386
# alien *py2.3*
# dpkg -i *py2.3*.deb

Thanks for this. I will give it a try. Do I need to remove older wxPython
packages first or will this be handled for me?
