I recently built, and then rebuilt (trying to fix the problem) wxGTK-2.6.0 and wxPython-2.6.0.0. The problem itself is I am unable to use wxPython. When I import the wx module I receive the following error: ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/wx-2.6-gtk2-ansi/wx/_core_.so: undefined symbol: _ZTV12wxXPMHandler wxGTK-2.6.0 appears to have a USE flag of xpm, however I have it built with that flag disabled. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch pyhon 2. With python now running, attempt to import the wx module POWER ~ # emerge -pv wxGTK wxpython These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

Are you saying you tried it with both -xpm and xpm? Or just -xpm?
I tried it with just -xpm. I have tested my wxGTK install by compiling a small wxGTK program and it seemed to work successfully.
Ok, thanks Greg. I guess that is one combination nobody tested. I'm recompiling with -xpm and I'll probably add a 2.6.0-r1 version to portage that enables xpm by default.
Hey no problem. I'm just happy anytime I can help. As we speak i'm compiling a version with xpm enabled to see if I'll have any better luck.
Closing, thanks Greg. I just removed the xpm USE flag entirely until I do more testing without it. The 2.4* versions all had it enabled, so better be safe and have it enabled now. Not going with an -r1 version though, since not everybody will need to re-emerge it.
