Indeed it was 2,4,2,4! How do I download and install the latest stable

There's Mandrake 10.1 and 10.2 versions. Download the one that
corresponds to your Python version. Get the unicode one.
Ughhh:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wxpython]# rpm -Uvh
wxPython-common-gtk2-unicode-2.6.1.0-mdk101_py2.3.i586.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]

I'm rusty with RPM. I think you want to rpm -i --force. Or, uninstall
2.4 and install 2.6. IIRC that would be:
rpm -e wxPythonGTK-2.4.2.4-2mdk
rpm -i wxPython-common-gtk2-unicode-2.6.1.0-mdk101_py2.3
Or, you can do what I do an install from source. Download the tar.gz,
make sure you have all the dev tools installed, read BUILD.txt, tweak
lots of stuff, set some environmental variables, and you'll have 2.6.1.0
installed side-by-side with 2.4.
Sorry it isn't easier - wxPython is the most difficult app I've ever
installed. But it is worth the hassle, it's a great toolkit. If it were
me, and I didn't have other apps installed that required wxPython 2.4,
I'd opt for the rpm -e / rpm -i option myself.
And while I was at it anyway I'd first install python 2.4 which has
native decimal support that Dabo takes advantage of. Otherwise, you get
to use floats which aren't as nice for business apps.
But again, a disclaimer: it's been a few years since I've used RPM, and
I'm rusty at it. Please take what I say with a grain of salt; you'll
need to decide what's best for you in your situation.
