[wxPython] Segmentation fault on demo.py

I got the M$ win version working Ok.
When I try the Linux version (Mandrake 8.0, Python 2.1, gcc 2.96,
wxPython 2.3.0-1, wxGtk 2.3.1-1) I get the following:
Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Then I try runing individual demos with run.py and some of them run OK
and some core dump; i.e.wxProgressDialog.py comes up with the window and
then aborts!
wxListBox.py seems to work fine (as in win98).
Any ideas? does the unsupported locale make any difference?

Isn't gcc 2.96 the version that didn't officially exist and that caused so
much trouble for RedHat 7.0? Anyway, since I don't have a Madrake 8.0 box
(onlt 7.2) the only thing I can suggest at this point is to rebuild wxGTK
and wxPython on your platform instead of using the binaries.
