Kevin, I have made more progress - I actually have been able to successfully launch the executable produced by cx_freeze. The problem why it is not launching is the actual executable has incorrect permissions - the execute permission bits are not set. What is weird is that the execute bits are set going down the subdirectory chain but NOT on the executable itself. I did a "chmod" and made the permissions 777 and then I could double click on the "cx_freeze app" in the build subdirectory and it launched like a champ. What is up with that ????
I tried n experiment thinking that possibly it was the subdirectory I was building out - that is in the directory where I was (../Downloads/cx_Freeze-4.3.2/cx_Freeze/samples/wx) I had to perform a "sudo python setup.py bdist_dmg" to actually build. I moved the wxaap.py and setup.py to a directory I have read/write/execute permission and rebuilt - the result was identical. Have you ever seen this behavior before ??? Is there something whacky with the setup.py - I did not modify it .. it is the one that was in the samples that came with cx_freeze download. I am attaching it so you can see it ... Getting really close to getting things straight thanks to your help. The question I have now is - is the "incorrect" permission setting I describe above a BUG in cx_freeze OR is it something I am doing improperly to cause this result? I would appreciate comments from any and all.
