[wxPython] Install issues

I am trying to install wxPython on a system running RedHat 7 with a Mosix kernal. The only thing I can think of that is funny about it is that we need to have Python 1.5 and Python 2 running simultaneously. I seem to get the error that iostream cannot be found, but it does exist and the path to it has been added to my include path. Any suggestions?

I'd love to here how this works out for you, as I am hopiong to do that
sometime soon myself. In the past, there have been problems with Mosix
and Python, I hope they have been solved.

If you want the RedHat admin tools to work, you do, indeed, need to keep
the old version around. Unfortunately, RedHat uses "python" as the name
of the executabel in all their #! lines, so the python on your PATH
needs to be 1.5. Any script you want to use the newer version needs to
call python2 or python2.2 or whatever. Once I changed all my #! lines, I
havn't had any problems.
