Install wxPython, newbie

#1 Post by 310linuxuser »

Hi-

Trying to install wxPython...couldn't get apt-get to find the file so I followed these instructions

Debian

Use the following commands if you can't find the relevant wxPython using apt-get:

apt-get install alien
apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev freeglut3-dev python2.3-dev
wget http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/wxpytho ... -1.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'pyver 2.3' wxPython2.6-2.6.1.0-1.src.rpm
cd rpmdir
alien *py2.3*
dpkg -i *py2.3*.deb

What is "cd rpmdir"? Is there a generic rpm directory I should be looking for? Does "*py2.3*" mean a specific file name or is it a generic representation for something else? Pretty confused...

It looks like -- when it comes to Debian packages -- the wxPython files are named in the python-wx* format. Perhaps you'll find what you need here. I could be wrong, though, as I don't know anything about wxPython.
