problem running wxPython demo.py

[Ken Dere]

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.
