xrced paste error wxPython 2.6.2.1

Hi,
is there a workaround to get copy/paste in xrced working on
linux/wxpython2.6.2.1 without recompiling GTK? Robin, you said this was a bug in
wxGTK. I don't remeber and haven't found if you had found a (python-only)
solution. opensuse 10.1 ships with 2.6.2.1 and I'd be glad if I could use it.
Regards, Christian

I don't remember the details. Which bug was this?

That's been fixed, but you'll need at least 2.6.3.2 to get the fix.

I see. I tried to build a wxPython 2.6.3.3 rpm for SuSE10.1 using the SuSE spec
file for 2.6.2 and got that error at the end of the build process:

RPM build errors:
    Symlink points to BuildRoot: /usr/bin/wx-config ->
/home/ck/testarea/rpm/tmp/wxGTK-2.6.3.3-build/usr/lib/wx/config/gtk2-unicode-release-2.6

Can you imagin what is wrong here and how I possibly could resolve this?

Regards, Christian

Sounds like it is complaining that the wx-config link is linked to a absolute pathname (rather than a relative link.) I don't remember having to deal with this, but it's been a while so I may have forgotten. You may want to compare with the .spec file I use to see if there is something done differently there with regards to the wx-config.

I found the wx-config install part in Makefile.in in changed the softlink to a
relative path and now it works.
