wxWindows link error

[Jp Calderone]

Just finished building wxPython 2.3.1 using GCC 3.0 and wxGTK 2.3.1.
But to my dismay, I get the following:

~$ python
Python 2.1 (#6, Sep 25 2001, 04:43:19)
[GCC 3.0] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import wxWindows
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named wxWindows
 >>> import wxPython
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.1/site-packages/wxPython/__init__.py", 
line 20, in ?
     import wxc
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk.so: undefined symbol: 
__gxx_personality_v0
 >>>


Googling yields many results, none seem python related, most point to 
gcc 3.0 as the cause.  Do I need a different version of GCC to use 
wxPython (in other words, do I need to get a different windowing 
library) or can someone show me how to fix this?

   Thanks in advance,
