How did you install it? Did you build from source or install someone elses package? Last I checked, WxPython doesn't come with Slackware and it can be a tricky program to compile right.

i tried it through both means,source and package, and its messed up its one of the primary programs i need to run, i have a modded xbox so u see where im going with this, i need bit torrent, and it need wxpython to run

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..
ARCH=i486
BUILD=1

rm -rf $PKG
mkdir -p $PKG/install
mkdir -p $PKG/usr/share/{applications,pixmaps}

echo
echo "wxPython-src-$VERSION.tar.gz is now extracting..."
echo
cd $TMP
rm -rf wxPython-src-$VERSION
tar -xzf $CWD/wxPython-src-$VERSION.tar.gz
