RE: [Boa Constr] boa-constructor doesn't start

[POYEN OP O. (DCL) <Oli...@cl...>]

I want, on Linux Mandrake 10.0, to use boa-constructor that I installed
with the normal boa-constructor-0.2.3-2mdk package. But I get the
following error message when I try to launch it:

[bitouze@drums Python]$ boa-constructor &

Depends on the version of wxPython you've got.
Anyway, you should first upgrade to last version 0.3.1 from sourforge or =
cvs. Should work much better.
Last note: try 0.3.1 with wxPython 2.4.2.4, not the 2.5 series....
