I want to use Boa (last version, if Ican), but i find
that not all versions of Python and wxPython are good. I'd like to know
which files i need to use Boa under linux, and under Windows. I can't
find wxPython2.2.1 for windows (i think i need it for boa)
The 2.2.1 binaries are still online at
wxPython - Browse Files at SourceForge.net
or at
http://alldunn.com/wxPython/dist/2.2.1/
I think Riaan is working on a new release of Boa that will work better with
2.2.2 and also has some new features.
I have another question, that is more of inexperience in
linux programming, but i'd like to resolve it, please. When i try to
unpack rpm or tar.gz, they do it in a default place. How can i change
that default place? It's because i want to install Python in /usr/lib
and wxPython in /usr/lib/Python1.5/site-packages, and when i try it, i
find that the default place for Python is /usr/local/lib, and wxPython
doesn't find Python. I found a src.rpm packet too, but i can't unpack it
(how could i do it?)
The Python 1.5.2 RPMs that I've seen, as well as on systems that come with
it preinstalled, all use /usr as the prefix. The Python 2.0 RPMs from
BeOpen use /usr/local as the prefix, presumably to not stomp on anything in
existing installations.
The wxPython build process uses the Python installation prefix to determine
where to put things, so for the RPM built with Python 1.5.2 it uses
/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages and for the RPM built with Python 2.0 it
uses /usr/local/lib/python2.0/site-packages as that is where things are on
my development system.
You could try to use the --prefix option to rpm to force it to install
elsewhere, but I've never tried that to know if it will work with the
wxPython package or not.
If you build wxPython from sources yourself then it will install to wherever
Python on your system is located.
