wxpython on FreeBSD 6.2 broken

Robin,

I don't think wxPython is compiled with debugging
enabled by default, but I can't tell for sure because
I am using a package.

As I said wxGlade doesn't display any controls from
it's control panel. Also from this tutorial for
example http://wiki.wxpython.org/AnotherTutorial I
was trying the Common Predefined Dialogs example, and
some dialogs (for sure the Message Dialog) simply
don't appear.

I will further check, maybe enable debugging and
compile it from source code.

Thanks for getting back.

Are you getting any exception tracebacks that would
give us more clues
as to why they are not working?

Debug info isn't needed to get Python exceptions, if they are happening
then they should appear on stderr unless output has been redirected.
That said, having a debug build of wxWidgets and wxPython does help as
then you have additional runtime checks in the C++ code that are turned
into PyAssertionError exceptions in wxPython if they fail.
