Not sure why you get this - Jeremy may be working on porting mathtext
to WX.  The 0.51 release is quite current, so unless you are looking
for a specific feature from CVS I suggest you use that distribution
since there are extra problems you'll encounter trying to build from
CVS (see my last response to Andrew for details).

If you want to clear up the cannot import mathtext problem, set
BUILD_FT2FONT to True in setup.py before building.
