[wxPython-users] python 2.5 on Ubuntu Edgy

[Michael Moriarity]

Well, installing the python2.5 dev package was the answer, and now the
wxPython build and install work apparently successfully. However, when
I run python2.5 and try import wx, another problem raises its ugly head:

>>> import wx
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "wx/__init__.py", line 45, in <module>
    from wx._core import *
  File "wx/_core.py", line 4, in <module>
    import _core_
ImportError: libwx_gtk2ud_aui-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory

Upon inspection, the file does exist, here:
/opt/wx/2.8_py2.5/lib/libwx_gtk2ud_aui-2.8.so.0

I thought that I had insured it would be found there, by using
--enable-rpath=/opt/wx/2.8_py2.5/lib
as an argument to the original configure command, but I guess not.

Can anyone suggest what it will take to clear this (hopefully final) hurdle?
