LinuxQuestions.org - wxpython not working

Well, you can try my slack-build script for wxPython if you want... It always works for me, and should be the correct way to build wxpython..
Code:
#!/bin/sh

#

# If you have an Nvidia driver installed, the make will probably

# bomb out. Uninstall Nvidia or remove opengl from configure...



CWD=`pwd`

TMP=/tmp

PKG=$TMP/package-wxPython

VERSION=2.6.1.0

# I set my CFLAGS globaly..

rm -rf $PKG

mkdir -p $PKG/install

echo "wxPython-src-$VERSION.tar.gz is now extracting..."

echo

cd $TMP

rm -rf wxPython-src-$VERSION

# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:

# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line

# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'

# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must

# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also

# customary to leave one space after the ':'.
