>From INSTALL.txt: You need wxPython (wxpython.org). Currently one needs version 2.9, but on Linux you need to apply a patch. Here is information about the patch: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/wxpython-users/e27JioMs1fs In this forum post is a link to the patch, located at http://sourceforge.net/projects/wxpython/files/wxPython/2.9.4.0/wxPython-src-2.9.4.1.patch/download Place the patch file in the wxPython directory, cd to that directory, and execute this in a terminal: patch -p0 < wxPython-src-2.9.4.1.patch Next cd wxPython (within the wxPython package) and execute sudo python2.7 build-wxpython.py --build_dir=../bld --install On Tue, Jan 15, 2013 at 11:10 AM, Paul Camp <PC...@sp...> wrote: > Apparently, that has to be built from source as 2.9.x is not in the > repositories.
