The only disable I did was the above link line. All of the compiling
worked fine.

While running the demo, I clicked Miscellaneous and then the GLCanvas
demo. Indeed that one doesn't work. I'm upgrading my wxPython app
from wxPython-2.4.2.4 which doesn't have GLCanvas.py in the demo
dir. There are certainly enough other cool new features
in your current version (2.8.4.0) that will keep me busy
until I upgrade the OS on the RHEL 4 machine that I had
the link problem on.

Thanks,

Jim
