What version of wxpython did you install? I just recently reinstalled audacity on slackware-current and first went with the most current version of wxpython-3.0.2.0 and ran into problems. I don't remember what it was just that I end up using wxpython-2.8.12.1(slackbuilds version) to get audacity to work.

Back in October I installed a large amount of dependencies for "Simon" which included lots of tar.bz's (including everything for gtk and htk)that I compiled from src.

-::-wxgtk is not installed, I removed it. To be certain I ran 'ls /var/log/packages | grep -i wxgtk'and bash returned an empty field. To clarify I pulled up my pkg list in the konsole and checked twice for wxgtk; it doesn't exist.-::-

If I have to rm pkgs that necessary for Simon run I'd rather due w/o Audacity as I have invested the past 3 months in getting Simon to run properly.

The version of wxPthon I installed was 2.8.12 that I downloaded from the SlackBuilds repo.-

if you install it from source, then it will not be shown at /var/log/packages since only packages created in native Slackware format that will be stored there

problem is you need to stay focused on one problem. If you want to make audacity priority then I would go back to basics and reinstall all the base libraries from the 14.1 install disk and update those that are in patches. you seem to have many broken lib links. if you your not running multilib then I would reinstall "l"
then upgrade your "patches" at that point you should have the base links back.
make sure your using the correct sbopkg repo.
Thats a start.

To reinstall all of the base libraries I would just use slackpkg for that right?

Or would I throw in the Slackware 14.1 CD and use pkgtool?

As willysr pointed out, if it is showing up in /usr/local/, then it was probably compiled manually using ./configure && make && make install. This does not create a Slackware package and does not allow pkgtool, /var/log/packages/, or any other portion of the package manager to be aware of its files. For the package manager to be aware of it, you'd either need to use a SlackBuild or compile it and have it installed into a directory that you then run makepkg on (which is effectively what a SlackBuild does). Have a look in /usr/local/lib/ and see what is in there (since the error states libwx_gtk2u_webview-3.0.so exists there).

You could also run locate wx_gtk to see what it returns.

Once we get wx_gtk removed, then the rest of the process should hopefully go smoothly.

Thank you for explaining that. I get the difference between the 2 types of installation going into different directories now.

I looked in /usr/local/lib and I did not find wxgtk. I did find a directory marked "wx" in /usr/local/lib/wx/include/and it contained /gtk2-unicode-3.0. I also looked in /usr/local/bin/ and the only thing remotely close is wx-config which has a target link to: al/lib/wx/config/gtk2-unicode-3.0.

first, you need to uninstall all those wx* that came from source
extract wxWidgets and run
please make sure all wx* files in /usr/local/ are removed before attempting to try to install wxPython and audicity

I'll work on that tomorrow when I can focus clearly it's getting late.
BTW I also have wx* in /usr/local/include/wx-3.0/wx/-

That will have to be removed as well

Do you turn your computer off at night? Because I believe updatedb runs at like 4AM every day. You could try running updatedb manually as root, then after it has finished indexing everything, try the locate command again.

However, willysr's advice should likely cover the complete removal of wx-gtk.

One of the folders in the /usr/local/include/wx-3.0/ contains a gtk folder with libraries that are like little engines that run 'Simon'.If I'm not mistaken the gtk libraries for the graphical control element are responsible for running Simon's GUI.
If I remove wx-3.0 Simon most likely would fail and I don't want to do that.

Mr. knudfl spent a lot of time teaching me how to build and compile and install gtk, htk and other dependencies in order to get Simon installed. I don't want to wreck the good that I have.

If there's another way?

If not I'll have to do w/o Audacity.

Yes, I shut down the pc at night.

I could update the data base this weekend.

If that's your choice then i'm afraid i can't help you further on this issue

my advice is NOT to mix applications compiled from source and from SlackBuild script.
