[Comment 1 Rob Cakebread (RETIRED) 2004-12-11 12:32:17 UTC]

Are you using the unicode versions of wxGTK/wxpython?

[Comment 2 Agustin Navarro 2004-12-11 12:53:15 UTC]

I do not know; Here is what I have:

[anp@abril anp]$ qpkg -I -v wx
dev-util/wxglade-0.3.5.1 *
dev-python/wxpython-2.4.2.4 *
dev-python/wxpython-demo-2.4.2.4 *
dev-python/wxpython-docs-2.4.2.4 *
x11-libs/wxGTK-2.4.2-r2 *

I am not ussing utf...as far as I know

Thanks in advance,

Agustin

[Comment 3 Rob Cakebread (RETIRED) 2004-12-14 11:20:25 UTC]

Does 'emerge -pv x11-libs/wxGTK dev-python/wxpython' show you compiled them with unicode USE flags?

[Comment 4 Agustin Navarro 2004-12-15 03:01:51 UTC]

Yes.

abril root # emerge -pv x11-libs/wxGTK dev-python/wxpython

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] x11-libs/wxGTK-2.4.2-r2  -debug +gtk2 -no_wxgtk1 +odbc +opengl +unicode 5,255 kB

[Comment 6 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2007-02-03 22:56:05 UTC]

reopen if this is still a problem with wxGTK/python-2.6 and boa-constructor-0.4.0_alpha.
