wxPythonGTK installation failures.

Thetargos · 03-13-2004, 12:07 AM

For months now I've been struggling with Fedora Core 1 and wxPythonGTK. I've been unable to rebuild the rpm from the wxPythongGTK webpage, no matter what I do I alway get a bad exit status from rpm (even if I disable the debug routine)

Has anyone been successful at installing wxPythonGTK? Is it in one of the yum/apt-get repositories for Fedora? (becasue BitTorrent is)

Any help greatly appreciated.

Just an update: I tried to rebuild (yet again) the package and this is the exact error that shows in the console:

Code:

unable to execute -DNDEBUG: No such file or directory
error: command '-DNDEBUG' failed with exit status 1
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.82117 (%build)
 
 
RPM build errors:
    user robind does not exist - using root
    group robind does not exist - using root
    user robind does not exist - using root
    group robind does not exist - using root
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.82117 (%build)

Rather than working with the rpm have you tried using the src instead? I installed wxPython on my Slack box and the tar ball installs easily. I was just thinking that in the tar ball there are detailed instructions and one must run an install.py (or setup.py - I forget now) to get it going after doing the ./config; make; make install routine. The only reason I bring this up is that it offers a higher level of control over the installation than does an rpm.

I used to find on RH and with MDK that sometimes the rpm would fail because of dependency issues but the tar ball would work fine ... maybe it is a case of what gets archived.

Anyway, worth a shot.

I agree, but because it will be registered to rpm database, I'll have problems with apt-get/yum packages that depnd on it (there are a few, actually).
