[SOLVED] Cannot build wxPython from sbopkg

arubin · 10-02-2012, 05:46 PM

This is in Slackware 14 multilib.

I get

In Slackware 14 /usr/include/GL/glx.h comes from the package mesa-8.0.4. Did you install it?

I just finished running off dvdstyler with sbopkg which included wxPython as a dependency on Slack64-14.0 non-multilib.

Where is mesa? I did a full install and I don't see it on Slackbuilds.

in x/ directory

If you mean that you don't see it @ http://slackbuilds.org this is normal as this website doesn't host slackbuilds for packages already included in the Slackware distribution. To check that you have it installed just type:

Code:

ls /var/log/packages mesa*

. This command should return something like this:

Code:

/var/log/packages/mesa-8.0.4-x86_64-1

If you get no output instead, mesa is not installed.

It is installed

Then what says:

Code:

ls -l /usr/include/GL/glx.h

PS Do you have the fglrx module for ATI cards installed? I ask that because it installs the file /usr/include/ATI/GL/glx.h. Not sure at all that your problem could be related to that so just asking out of curiosity.

I have also noticed a similar problem if I try to recompile the nvidia driver

So I guess wx-Python expects to find the header file from mesa and doesn't, that's why the compilation fails.

But that's only a guess, so I will leave to experts confirming that or not.

I think one version of the nvidia-driver SlackBuild at slackbuilds.org replaced /usr/include/GL/glx.h, breaking compilation of some apps. I don't know why this was done -- I install the nVidia drivers without the SlackBuild (one of the only pieces of software I install that way) and that file was never touched, and compilation works as it should. You should reinstall mesa (and maybe xorg-server) and then reinstall the nVidia drivers. I think the SlackBuild still overwrites that file so you may wish to try commenting that line out...or ask kingbeowulf (the maintainer) why it is happening in the first place.

According to this post you can manually change that one symlink to point to the original file, so you may not have to reinstall anything.

arubin · 10-03-2012, 02:12 PM

Well I re-installed mesa and wxPython compiled OK. I think I will go and re-install nvidia.

Thanks everyone

You need to do the following before attempting to rebuild the nvidia-driver:

Code:

nvidia-switch --remove
