In my last Email: Ubuntu 8.04 Upgrading wxgtk Followed the steps explained in the wiki and when I tried to run Dabo in my Launcher Script Dabo would not run. I had to run Dabo the terminal window to find the problem. Below is what I had to do to get the new wxPython to work. I am working on trying to find a cleaner way to to the update. There are other problems I am looking into on installing Ubuntu the I am looking into before I make changes to Dabo Wiki. I been running down problem with Dabo Class Designer and read an email about upgrading the wxgtk. The web site: http://wiki.wxpython.org/InstallingOnUbuntuOrDebian will work for Ubuntu 8.04 but with some added steps! # In the terminal window run the following sudo apt-get --yes install curl curl http://apt.wxwidgets.org/key.asc | sudo apt-key add - sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list # In the gedit add the lines # wxWidgets/wxPython repository at apt.wxwidgets.org # NOTE: hardy is for Ubuntu 8.04 for Ubuntu 10.0 use the new name. deb http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ hardy-wx main deb-src http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ hardy-wx main # Save and exit and you will be back in the terminal # Next run sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8 python-wxtools python-wxaddons wx2.8-i18n # Exit the terminal ---------------------------------------- Now if you try to run Dabo Class Designer it will not work. What I had to do was run the terminal then run python ClassDesigner.py. Dabo will display you need to recompile these models wxPython .... What I did was I ran from the menu System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager Check the box for reload for the items listed for recompile like python-wxgtk2.8, python-wxtools .... then select Apply. At that point I was updated to version 2.8.9.1-0 I hope this will help Bob _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
