 As a matter of fact I did. But I didn't find any specific mention of the
problems which anybody has encountered under either of those platforms, sorry
if I missed this somewhere.

 Your statement implied that there were problems with building it under SGI
and/or Solaris without saying what those problems were. I wanted to know more
details about this.

 Although it surely is a pleasure to hear this, I'm more interested in making
wxGTK and wxPython build out of the box on as many platforms as possible. And
for this we need the users bug reports which was the only reason I replied to
this thread. So I'd simply like to reiterate my plea to all [potential]
wxPython users to please let us know about any problems with building and
installing it.

 Yes, but this is not a bug, it's a feature. Or at least there is nothing we
can do about it (except making a wxPython/X11 version).
