wxWidgets 2.4 is simply too broken on the Mac platform and all effort to 
make wxWidgets viable on the Mac is being given to 2.5. FWIW, many of 
the packages that only work with wxWidgets 2.4 on other platforms, won't 
work at all on the Mac. I believe the latest wxPython 2.5 has added a 
compatibility API, but I haven't tested it out, yet.

Thanks!

Has anyone compiled these for the Mac outside of 
Fink/Gentoo/DarwinPorts? With wxPython and Tkinter, someone else has 
done the work to make installation of the underlying libraries easy 
enough that I can package them up. As far as I know, no one has done so 
for GTK+ and I'm not willing to do so.
