I've just merged openrpg-1.6.1. I launch it and it starts normally. However, I can't write more than one letter (save for numbers) in the chat bar; every time I try to do it I get this error message on the console: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/games/lib/openrpg/orpg/tools/predTextCtrl.py", line 522, in OnChar curWord = self.findWord(insert,front + asciiKey) # Now that we know we're supposed to make a prediction, File "/usr/games/lib/openrpg/orpg/tools/predTextCtrl.py", line 362, in findWord if st[-(offset + 2)] not in string.letters: UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xa6 in position 52: ordinal not in range(128) Then the program continues running, but the character has not been displayed. The odd fact is that I've got a friend with a configuration very similar to my own and he has no problems at all. me: * dev-lang/python : [ ] 2.1.3-r1 (2.1) [ I] 2.2.3-r5 (2.2) [ ] 2.3.3 (2.3) [ I] 2.3.3-r1 (2.3) [M~ ] 2.3.4 (2.3) * dev-python/wxpython : [ I] 2.4.2.4 (0) my friend: * dev-lang/python : [ ] 2.1.3-r1 (2.1) [ I] 2.2.3-r5 (2.2) [ I] 2.3.3 (2.3) [ ] 2.3.3-r1 (2.3) [M~ ] 2.3.4 (2.3) * dev-python/wxpython : [ ] 2.4.2.4 (0) We both use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=x86. $ emerge info Portage 2.0.50-r11 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r1, 2.6.8-gentoo-r3) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.8-gentoo-r3 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -pipe -march=athlon-xp -fforce-addr -fomit-frame-pointer -falign-functions=4 -mfpmath=sse" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/share/config:/usr/kde/3.3/env:/usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -pipe -march=athlon-xp -fforce-addr -fomit-frame-pointer -falign-functions=4 -mfpmath=sse" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache digest distcc fixpackages sandbox userpriv" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X X509 aalib alsa apache2 apm avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bonobo cdparanoia cdr chroot crypt cscope cups curl dga directfb doc dv dvb dvd dvdr encode erandom esd extensions faad fbcon flac flash foomaticdb gd gdbm ggi gif gimpprint gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile ieee1394 imap imlib innodb ipv6 java jikes joystick jpeg kde kerberos krb4 lcms ldap libcaca libg++ libwww linguas_it live lzo mad mcal md5sum memlimit mikmod mmx mng motif mozilla moznoirc mozp3p mozsvg mpeg mpi mysql ncurses network nls nptl nvidia odbc offensive oggvorbis opengl pam parse-clocks pdflib perl pic png ppds prelude python qt quicktime readline rtc samba scanner sdl skey slang slp sndfile snmp socks5 speex spell sqlite sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex tga theora tiff truetype unicode usb v4l v4l2 vim-with-x wmf wxwindows x86 xchattext xml xml2 xmms xprint xv xvid yaz zlib"
The unicode support in the wx stuff has been rather unstable. I recommend you take unicode out of your USE flags and remerge all the packages that have that in IUSE if you don't really need it.
now it works. Looks like a wxWindows bug then.
