wxPythonGTK2 RPM

I've just tried upgrading my RedHat9 system from the default
Python 2.2.2 plus wxPython 2.4.2 to Python 2.3.3 (plus devel
and tools) and wxPython 2.5.1, using the available RPMs.
wxPythonGTK works OK (give or take namespace issues), but
wxPythonGTK2 installs OK then gives:

ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/wx/_core.so: undefined symbol:
PyUnicodeUCS2_AsWideChar

when trying to run a wx app. Am I missing some other library
that's not been flagged up by the RPM's dependencies?

The new Python RPM you installed was built such that the size of the unicode characters is different than the Python that wxPython was built with, so it is looking for some functions that don't exist in your Python. You'll need to rebuild the RPM using the wxPythonGTK2 SRPM.
