    wxPython problems with Fedora Core 5

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to use wxPython from a fairly new installation of Fedora
    Core 5. I installed wxPython using yum -y install wxPython and that all
    seemed to work fine. However, when I run Python and do this:

    import wx

    I get this:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
    File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx/__init__.py", line 45, in ?
    from wxPython import wx
    File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wxPython/__init__.py", line
    20, in ?
    import wxc
    ImportError: /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2-2.4.so.0: undefined symbol:
    pango_x_get_con text

    Anyone have any ideas what's going on and what I can do to fix this?

    Thanks in advance,
    Doug

      Check the FC5 Forums, I think the basic answer was to remove the python
      "compat"
      rpms.

          Here is a link to a message in the wxpython-users mailing list archive,
          which apparently gives the solution to your problem.

          I cannot vouch for it. I installed wxPython on FC5 without any
          problems, using the FC4 binary rpm's from wxPython.org.

          Hope it works for you.

              Frank,

              Thanks for the link, that solved the problem for me with FC5! That was
              a great help to me!
