Yesterday I recompiled wxGTK 2.5.3, wxpython and bittornado with ebuild currently in portage, and I couldn't get bittornado working because it failed with a message signaling that wxpython weren't installed or that installation was bad. After a few attempts I found the problem: this is due to missing configure option "--enable-monolithic", removed as a fix for bug #71036. Another fix, that allowed me to build wxGTK without problem, is changing every "emake" command with "emake -j1"; when I recompiled wxGTK with this modification "--enable-monolithic" didn't cause any problem and bittornado now doesn't complain anymore (I recompiled wxpython too).
What version of bittornado are you talking about? Please post the output of "emerge --info" --enable-monolithic is not necessary to build wxGTK according to its authors and will cause compiling to fail for some people.
Had the same problem today. I am using bittornado 0.3.8 wxGTK 2.4.2-r2 wxpython 2.4.2.4 I reemerged wxpython, that didn't help I reemerged bittornado, didn't help either I looked in emerge.log and saw that I upgraded to gtk+ 2.6.2. earlier this week, so I reemerged wxGTK and that did the trick. It's working fine now. Peter
recompiling gtk+, wxGTK and wxPython worked for me too. I'm sorry but I completely forgot this bug report.
