I've been installing it from the RPM's on http://wxpython.org from
around Redhat 6.2 up through FC4.  I've never had an issue, except in
cases where I had screwed my Linux install up to the point of no
recovery (and I recall only once this happened, when I had decided to
use Ximian desktop around 7.3).  Also the Windows and Mac installers
there seem to work just fine as well.
