Description Ben Anderson 2004-05-30 14:58:06 UTC 
I have said versions of both packages installed, and when I try to emerge wxPython, I get:
 * You need x11-libs/wxGTK compiled with Unicode support.
 * Either emerge wxGTK with 'unicode' in your USE flags or
 * emerge wxPython without 'unicode' in your USE flags.

!!! ERROR: dev-python/wxPython-2.4.2.4 failed.
!!! Function pkg_setup, Line 59, Exitcode 0
!!! wxGTK needs to be compiled with unicode

However, wxGTK *is* compiled with unicode, as shown by qpkg -I -i -vv wxGTK:
x11-libs/wxGTK-2.4.2 *
   /var/db/pkg/x11-libs/wxGTK-2.4.2/wxGTK-2.4.2.ebuild
        GTK+ version of wxWindows, a cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit. [ http://www.wxwindows.org/ ]
Compiled with USE Flags: -odbc opengl -gtk2 unicode -debug

Hi, I'm working on a fix for this. The problem is you compiled wxGTK with USE=-gtk2 unicode" which actually doesn't support unicode. So if you need unicode, please use gtk2, or re-emerge with -unicode -gtk2.
Comment 2 Rob Cakebread (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-22 22:42:52 UTC 
Fixed in wxGTK-2.4.2-r1. It now aborts and warns you that gtk does not support unicode, only gtk2 does.
