#198 importing wxPython crashes

[Jean-Marc Vanel]

It seems that some ingredients in the recipe are bad :-((
I'm running Linux Fedora Core 1.

$ rpm -Uvh wxGTK-devel-2.4.2-1.i386.rpm
wxGTK-2.4.2-1.i386.rpm
$ rpm -Uvh wxPythonGTK2-py2.2-2.5.1.5-1.i386.rpm

$ python -V
Python 2.2.3

$ python /usr/lib/python2.2/boa-constructor-0.2.3/Boa.py

I see exactly the same on my Mandrake 10 box:

boa-constructor-0.2.3-2mdk
wxPythonGTK-2.5.1.5-1mdk
python-2.3.3-6mdk

Cheers,

Coops.

I get that as well. I added 2 lines to do a workaround (if
screenHeight == 0: screenHeight = 1)

I don't know if this will help, though. I'm trying to run on
wxPython2.5, and I'm getting *lots* of complaints about
missing windows, etc. So it fixed that bug, but I didn't get
it to work in the end.
