problem running wxPython demo.py

[Hornberger, Chris]

And that, my friends, is why *nix is a long way from displacing Windows on the desktop.

This is a bit of a sore spot with me. When it comes to the OS, we programmers are no different than clerks, autocad users, kids doing homework, etc.... we're USERS. Just because we know HOW to build software, and in many cases, modify *nix and rebuild systems as necessary, doesn't mean we should have to.

On windows, you pop in the CD, load the system, pop in the dev environment and load it up and get to work.

Don't get me wrong, I like *nix, but bu11$hit dependency errors it's prone to are really irking me.

That NTFS partition hasn't seen the light of day in quite some time, but believe me, I'm glad it's still there if I need it.

No, really. I've got the card to prove it.

Subject: problem running wxPython demo.py


I am running Suse 9.0 with python 2.3-52 and python-wxGTK 2.4.1.2-43. 
Everything has been installed from the CD distribution and should work
together.

when trying to run the demo, I get:

ken at linux1:/usr/share/doc/packages/python-wxGTK/demo> python demo.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "demo.py", line 3, in ?
    import Main
  File "/usr/share/doc/packages/python-wxGTK/demo/Main.py", line 16, in ?
    import wx                  # This module uses the new wx namespace
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/wx/__init__.py", line 45, in ?
    from wxPython import wx
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/wxPython/__init__.py", line 20,
in ?
    import wxc
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/wxPython/wxc.so: symbol
_ZNK8wxRegion15ConvertToBitmapEv, version WXGTK_2.4 not defined in file
libwx_gtk-2.4.so.0 with link time reference

looking through google groups has turned up anything similar.

any help is appreciated.
