wxPython 2.5.3.1 -- Build OK, but problems with installation!

Peter_D_Pawelek · October 30, 2004, 6:31pm

Hi all,

I'm trying to build and install wxPy 2.5.3.1 (using the 28/10/04 daily build:
http://starship.python.net/crew/robind/wxPython/daily/20041028/). Using the
BUILD.txt instructions, I can build with no problems and get demo.py running
when LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to /opt/wx/2.5/lib and PYTHONPATH is set to
$WXDIR/wxPython.

However, I'm having a hell of a time getting it installed system-wide. As
root, I run the command: 'python setup.py install WXPORT=gtk2 UNICODE=1' and
this is the output that I get:

---begin

Notice the lines:

Now, when I try to run demo.py from $WXDIR, I get the following error message:

The undefined symbol in _core_.so looks like garbage. Seems to be a problem
with the unicode part of the installation, but I'm totally stumped. When
PYTHONPATH is $WXDIR/wxPython, everything runs fine.

For reference, here are the scripts I built wxWidgets with:

make $* \
&& make -C contrib/src/gizmos/ $* \
&& make -C contrib/src/ogl CXXFLAGS="-DwxUSE_DEPRECATED=0" $* \
&& make -C contrib/src/stc $*

And the wxPython build command was:

'python setup.py build_ext --inplace --debug WXPORT=gtk2 UNICODE=1'

This is the second time I've tried. The first time, I did not have the flag
'--enable monolithic' in my .configure script.

As I mentioned, I can build 2.5.3.1 and run the accompanying demo with no
problems if my PYTHONPATH is set to $WXDIR/wxPython.

There's something wrong happening during the install script, and it appears to
have to do with installing the unicode modules.

Any help regarding this would be *greatly* appreciated. It's taken me hours to
get to the point where I could actually build this from source, so it's
pretty painful to come across this error at the very last step!

Thanks,

Peter

Just some followup info:

My platform is Slackware 10 (actually slackware-current), running Python 2.34,
GTK2.4.13, Linux kernel version 2.6.4.

Notice the lines:

'warning: wx_install: path file '/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/wx-2.5.3-gtk2-unicode.pth' not created'

That is okay. You get a warning because I prevent distutils from writing that pth file since I write one with a different name. See the last line above.

Now, when I try to run demo.py from $WXDIR, I get the following error message:

---begin

---end

The undefined symbol in _core_.so looks like garbage.

Use c++filt to see what it really is:

$ c++filt _ZNK8wxObject13CreateRefDataEv
wxObject::CreateRefData() const

Seems to be a problem with the unicode part of the installation, but I'm totally stumped. When PYTHONPATH is $WXDIR/wxPython, everything runs fine.

Do you still have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set? (Since you put the wx libs in a non-standard dir you either need to do that or add that dir to /etc/ld.so.conf, or rebuild wxWidgets to use a standard prefix...)

What do you get if you run the following command with and without LD_LIBRARY_PATH set?

ldd /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/wx-2.5.3-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core_.so

Does it find the wx libs that you built or some that were already on the system?

Robin,

Thanks for your timely reply. Indeed when I run c++filt I get the same output
as you. I hadn't realized that this was a mangled C++ function name. Thanks
for the clarification -- I was worried about data corruption.

Do you still have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set? (Since you put the wx libs in a
non-standard dir you either need to do that or add that dir to
/etc/ld.so.conf, or rebuild wxWidgets to use a standard prefix...)

Yep, I added /opt/wx/2.5/lib to my /etc/ld.so.conf (and re-ran /sbin/ldconfig)
prior to trying to install as root.

What do you get if you run the following command with and without
LD_LIBRARY_PATH set?

ldd /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/wx-2.5.3-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core_.so

I get the following output, whether or not LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set
to /opt/wx/2.5/lib:

$ ldd /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/wx-2.5.3-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core_.so

linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
        libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x400ed000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x401a4000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x401c6000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x401ce000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40220000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

Does it find the wx libs that you built or some that were already on the
system?

Doesn't appear to be pointing to the wx libs at all.

The odd thing is, I just ran ldd on the _core_.so file in $WXDIR, and this is
what I got:

$ ldd
wxPython-src-2.5.3.1p.20041028/wxPython/build-gtk2.unicode/lib.linux-i686-2.3/wx/_core_.so

linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
        libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x400ed000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x401a4000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x401c6000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x401ce000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40220000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

Once again, this is whether or not LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to /opt/wx/2.5/lib.

Since this is the file that would be used when I get the local version of wxPy
working, the library linkages must be ok, no?

Perhaps I shouldn't be building this with '--enable-monolithic' ?? Maybe
that's the source of the problem?

Very weird.

Actually, when you run with the --inplace build it will be using the one in wxPython-src-2.5.3.1p.20041028/wxPython/wx/_core_.so. It gets relinked as part of the install step.

Perhaps I shouldn't be building this with '--enable-monolithic' ?? Maybe that's the source of the problem?

It shouldn't be, that's how I build mine these days.

Try removing the wxPython-src-2.5.3.1p.20041028/wxPython/build* directory and building again without using the ---inplace flag:

python setup.py WXPORT=gtk2 UNICODE=1 build

And pay attention to the lines it shows for linking the extension modules. Does it specify the path where the wx libs are with a -L option? Does it specify the libs with -l options?

If so then use ldd on the file in wxPython-src-2.5.3.1p.20041028/wxPython/build-gtk2.unicode/lib.linux-i686-2.3/wx again to see if it is getting the libs this time, and if so then do the install step aggain.

Ok, I'm on it. I was halfway through rebuilding without '--enable-monolithic'.
I'll abort this and try it again using your recommendations.

I'll post the outputs when it's done. Takes a while on my decrepit Athlon 800
system. In fact, it takes even longer than a kernel compile...
