[wxPython] Problems running wxPython on Linux

wxPython Users
1

Hello list,

I have attempted to install wxPython on my Suse Linux system.
Well, installation went OK, but everytime I try to run one of the demo's,
Python crashes.

I get the following errors:

GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to: No such user 500.
Gdk-ERROR **: Fatal IO error 0 (Success) on X server :0.0.

And yes, there *is* a user 500 (that's me), and every other program
is completely satisfied with my X server on :0.0.

I ran some GTK+ and the wxGTK demo's, but they don't exhibit this behavior.

Here are the relevant version numbers:
  Glib, GTK+ 1.2.8
  WxGTK 2.2.1
  WxPython 2.2.1
  Python 1.5.2

I 'm running a Suse 6.0 system on x86.

Any ideas on what's going wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Stephan Houben

Somebody else reported this error several months ago, but I can't find it in
the archives to see if/how it was resolved. Is that person still on the
list?

Are you building wxGTK/wxPython or using the RPMs?
