I'm trying to install wxpython 2.4 (for Python 2.3) using the rpm. However, I
can't get it to install. It repeatedly finds and installs the dependency
libstdc++2.10-2.96-0.83mdk.i586, but that's probably not being installed
either. What might be the problem? I've installed gtk+ and glib from the
rpm's... what's the best way to check if they're there? And if they are, what
else could be going wrong?
Thanks.

Why wxPython 2.4 ? That's pretty old now. 2.6 is a much better option.

One of the programs that I'm installing it for recommends it. But I tried
2.6 yesterday... and same problem: it exits without installing since it
believes it's already there. Any suggestions?
Thanks again.

Are you sure it's not there? Maybe you have more than one Python installed, and wx is installed for the non-default one. See my other post for info on that.
If it isn't installed that the rpm database might be out of sync. I think you can do a:
rpm -Uvh --force NameOfRPMFile.rpm
or something like that to force it to re-install.
