Hi,

I'm trying to get 2.8.10.1 up and running on a Solaris 10 x86 box, python 2.5.

Following the BUILD instructions, and making a couple of adjustments,
I have been able to compile everything to the point where one of two
things happen, depending on some conditions.

1) With LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /opt/wx/2.8/lib, and the
PYTHONPATH=/opt/wx/wxPython-src-2.8.10.1/wxPython:... I get the
following:

Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Dec 20 2007, 16:09:34)
[GCC 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath)] on sunos5
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
> >> import wx
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin> ", line 1, in <module>
 File "/opt/wx/wxPython-src-2.8.10.1/wxPython/wx/__init__.py", line
45, in <module> 
   from wx._core import *
 File "/opt/wx/wxPython-src-2.8.10.1/wxPython/wx/_core.py", line 4, in <module> 
   import _core_
ImportError: ld.so.1: python2.5: fatal: libiconv.so.2: open failed: No
such file or directory
> >>

2) If I add the location of libiconv.so.2, so that  LD_LIBRARY_PATH =
/opt/wx/2.8/lib:/usr/local/lib and repeat the above, wx seems to
import without error.
However, when I try to create an app, as follows, the system hangs, is
unresponsive, and I am stuck.

> >> import wx
> >> app = wx.PySimpleApp()

----------
To get to this point, the first thing I did was upgrade to GTK+-2.12.0
and dependencies from sunfreeware.com, installed in /usr/local.
I've tried a number of variations of the BUILD instructions' parameters.
In those cases where the build was completed without apparent error,
my procedure has been:

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib
setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

Create .configure and .make in $WXDIR/bld :
../configure    --prefix=/opt/wx/2.8         --with-gtk         --with-opengl         --with
-gnomeprint         --enable-optimize         --enable-debug_flag         --enable-geometry 
        --enable-graphics_ctx         --enable-sound --with-sdl         --enable-mediactrl  
       --enable-display         --enable-unicode 
gmake $*     && gmake -C contrib/src/gizmos $*     && gmake -C contrib/src/stc $*

Then execute:
.config
.make
.make install
cd ../wxPython
gedit config.py --->  Uncomment the recommended block of code for Solaris
python2.5 setup.py build_ext --inplace
--include-dirs="/usr/X11R6/include" --force
        (without the include, there was a compile error)

Then I try the experiments from 1 and 2 above.

I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.
