Hi,
I've downloaded wxPython from Linuxpackages.net(slackware package) .wxpython-2.5.3.1-i486-2tsu
I've tried to install wxPython from source but i failed.(both 2.5.3.1 and 2.6.0)
While starting Boa Constructor,it fails with "Segmentation Fault" and this is the screen output;
root@darkstar:~# python /usr/lib/python2.4/boa-constructor-0.4.0/Boa.py
Starting Boa Constructor v0.4.0

Segmentation fault

I'm using Slackware 10.1 with python2.4 and wxPython 2.5.3.1.
NOTE:Boa 0.3.1 ends with the same error too.I think I have a problem with all Boas

I 've learnt an easy solution to "Segmentation Fault" error:
I think there is a bug in "pyexpat.so" which is the standart component of Python 2.4. I 'm using Zope and there is a patched version of this file in Zope. Its name is "dcpyexpat". (Look at
Zope-2.8.0/lib/python/Shared/DC/xml/pyexpat you 'll see dcpyexpat.so) If you don't have Zope, you can download it from here
immediately:www.zope.org Remove the bugged file (/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/pyexpat.so) and copy
Zope-2.8.0/lib/python/Shared/DC/xml/pyexpat/dcpyexpat.so to its place. Don't change the new copied file 's name. (Don't change dcpyexpat.so to pyexpat.so) Copy "__init__.py" and "pyexpat.py" from
Zope-2.8.0/lib/python/Shared/DC/xml/pyexpat/ to / usr/lib/python2.4/xml/parsers . If you don't need Zope, downloading source code, compiling it and taking the files that we need is enough for our purpose. Now boa 's working without any error...
My configuration:
Boa-constructor 0.4.4
Python 2.4
WxPython 2.5.3.1
Slackware 10.1
