Question

hope somebody helps me to install wxPython.
I have ubuntu 11.10 and there is no build package for it.
I used this page ( http://wxpython.org/BUILD.html ) as guidance to install
after installing, I run

>python

>>>import wx

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "wx/__init__.py", line 45, in <module>
    from wx._core import *
  File "wx/_core.py", line 4, in <module>
    import _core_
ImportError: libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.9.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What should do to fix it?
thank you!

Answer 1

Follow the instructions for installing on Ubuntu or Debian.

EDIT: Actually, you don’t even need to do that, since it’s in the main repos:

sudo aptitude install python-wxgtk2.8
