[wxPython] Getting Boa running

As a newbie I'm trying to get a version of Boa running where I can draw the
controls on the from - I downloaded the lastest version and later found a bug
report saying that this wouldn't work.

Apparently using python 2.0 and wxPython 2.2.5 it will work.

I'm using Mandrake 8.0 and getting all sort of dependency problems I don't
know how to sort out (see below). Can anyone give me a straight forward file
list and instructions how to get there??

[root@whitebridgegp wxPython]# rpm -ivh wxPython-2.2.5-1-Py20.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libwx_gtk-2.2.so.0 is needed by wxPython-2.2.5-1

[root@whitebridgegp wxPython]# ls
wxGTK-gl-2.2.5-1mdk.i586.rpm wxPython-demo-2.2.5.tar.gz
wxPython-gl-2.2.5-2.Py20.i386.rpm
wxPython-2.2.5-1-Py20.i386.rpm wxPython-docs-2.2.5.tar.gz
wxPython-2.2.5-2-Py21.i386.rpm wxPython-gl-2.2.5-2.Py15.i386.rpm
[root@whitebridgegp wxPython]# rpm -ivh wxGTK-gl-2.2.5-1mdk.i586.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        wxGTK = 2.2.4 is needed by wxGTK-gl-2.2.5-1mdk
[root@whitebridgegp wxPython]#

Couldn't find 2.2.4 anywhere and don't know where to head.

Thanks if you can help

Hi Richard,

You have 2 options:

The 0.0.5 version (that you currently trying)
wxGTK 2.2.5 rpms seems to be here:
ftp://wesley.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/pub/linux/wxxt/source/

Getting the 0.0.13 sources from CVS, they work with 2.3.0 (not 2.3.1)

Best of luck,
