I managed to get this to work this weekend (on a RH 6.2 system) by:
1. Getting the Mesa 3.0 rpm from Robin's wxPython site
2. Install said rpm
3. Install wxPython rpm which will now work since the dependency is
satisfied
4. Mesa 3.0 install libMesaGL, whereis the new system has libGL. If you
are also
building PyOpenGL, etc, you can link to either as you wish.
Overall I think the problem is either RedHat or Mesa decided to change the
name of the libraries. So even using --force to install wxPython won't
allow it to work.

doesn't
help) since the dependensies of the libs aren't registered. I'll probably
have to build from source, but I was hoping to avoid that.--
