This is a known bug in the Debian packaging of wxPython. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=326440
There are some workarounds mentioned in that post. Personally, I usually end up building wxPython from source (which doesn't have this header file problem) to keep up with its fairly frequent bugfixes anyway. If you'd prefer to stick with deb packages, you could *try* the wxPython-provided .deb packages (i.e. not the Debian-provided ones) here, though I don't know whether they also exhibit this problem: http://wiki.wxpython.org/InstallingOnUbuntuOrDebian Cheers, Mike Matthias Michler wrote: > Hello list, > > I was not up to date with my installation and I tried to use the latest svn > version (trunk) on my Debian etch.
