Won't help, you are missing stable keyword for the needed version (2.4.2.4-r3)

Reopened.

wxpython-2.4.2.4-r3 is properly slotted and wxpython-2.4.2.4 is not.  For the
two to co-exist the slotted version (2.4.2.4-r3) must be used.  I just resolved
this issue here, thanks marienz.

PS. I don't know that this is an AMD64 issue per se.  If you have not upgraded
to the latest version of wxpython-2.4.* on x86 won't you still get bit?

Stabilizing wxpython-2.4.2.4-r3 would bring us to the same level as x86.

2.4.2.4-r3 it's stable This is fixed

Some non-Gentoo specific slotting information (or multi-version installs as
they
call it) http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/MultiVersionInstalls.

This may be relevent to other wxWindows problems so I hope it gets found on
searches.
