Hi everyone,
I'm having problems getting the wxPython demo to run under RedHat 7.2, I'm also a relative Linux newbie, so bear with me please <g>. I've set up a link in the /usr/bin directory like this:
ln -s python2.1 python
So that entering 'python' at the command line will run python 2.1 rather than 1.5. I've downloaded the wxPython2.1 RPM file from www.wxPython.org and installed it on my RedHat Linux 7.2 system, that seemed to go okay, after I installed wxGTK-2.3 onto the system as well. However, the demo.py won't run and I'm not sure what to do about it. When I go to the /usr/src/python/wxPython-2.3 directory (where I saved the demo) and enter the command 'python demo.py' I get the following errors:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "demo.py", line 3, in ?
import Main
File "Main.py", line 15, in ?
from wxPython.wx import *
File "/usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages/wxPython/__init__.py", line 20, in ?
import wxc
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages/wxPython/wxc.so: undefined symbol: RemoveChild__7wxPanelP12wxWindowBase
Can anyone tell me what this means and what I should do about it? I don't have a PYTHONPATH environment variable set and I'm thinking I should, but I don't know what it should be set to or what kinds of things go in there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
