Hi,
I tried to install wxPython 2.4.1 from source on my ibook (Yellow Dog Linux 3.0, Python 2.3 (installed from source over YDL), GCC 3.2.1, powerpc processor).
I first installed wxAll with ./configure --with-gtk, make, make install. Then I went into the wxPython source tree and realized that wxWindows is also included in there. I went back to the wxAll and tried to do "make uninstall". This failed because it tried to remove a non-empty directory (something like /usr/local/include/wx). I "uninstalled" by hand doing something like "rm -rf /usr/local/include/wx /usr/local/lib/wx", and reinstalled wxWindows by going to the root of the wxPython source distribution, then doing "./configure", make, "make install". I then went into the wxPython subdir, and started the build with "python setup.py build". After that some files were successfully compiled, I got:

If I look for the _restfpr_26_x@@WXGTK_2.4 symbol by doing "readelf /usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk-2.4.so -a|less", I see that it exits:

Can somebody help me to get rid of this error?
