[wxPython-users] 2.8.3 Install Procedure Question

[Daniel B. Koch]

Thanks Kevin, that's the option I was wondering about. It seems to 
eliminate the need for PYTHONPATH but not LD_LIBRARY_PATH even though I 
hard-coded it when I built it using the directions in INSTALL step 2:

--enable-rpath=/opt/wx/2.8/lib

Without specifying the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I get an import error:

[ko5 at amber site-packages]$ ls
README               wxaddons-2.8.3.0-py2.5.egg-info         wxversion.py
wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode  wx.pth                                  wxversion.pyc
wxaddons             wxPython_common-2.8.3.0-py2.5.egg-info
