Let me explain and give you some more details. When I type "python" at the command prompt it shows the following info. python 2.3.4 (#Feb 01 2005), GCC 3.4.3 20041212 Red Hat 3.4.3-9.EL4 on linux2
In /usr/lib/ there are two directories called python 2.3 and python 2.4 In /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages I could NOT find anything related to wx and in particular wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode wx.pth wxversion.py wxversion.pyc In /usr/lib/python2.4/ there is only one folder called site-packages and NO other files. So /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ has only one folder called "wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode" and a file called " wx.pth" and another file wx.version.py (and its compiler version wx.version.pyc). wx.pth contains wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode So, what my feeling is that I have python 2.3 and wx package is for 2.4. So my installed variant cannot find the wx package. What is the easiest way from this point on to get my small wxPython app running ??? Every help is appreciated.
