This is a misinterpretation, SPE failed because of something else. (As would have become clear if you would have run SPE in the debugging mode 'python SPE.py --debug'.) The version number displayed is the one on which SPE is being developed, not the one required (displayed on webpage). AFAIK SPE runs fine with wxPython 2.5.4.1+ I run SPE myself on the same release of Ubuntu as you (Breezy ?) and it now works very well. >From the SPE news blog: SPE was for the first time tested on and improved for Ubuntu (and hopefully so for Linux in general). I adapted SPE such that it can ran out of the box of an archive (zip or tar.gz). This has the advantage that Linux (but also Mac and Windows) don't have to install SPE anymore but can just run it out of a folder or USB stick, provided the right version of wxPython (2.6) is installed on the system as it is always the case with Ubuntu boxes. If you want to install SPE in this way, use the -no_setup.zip distribution: 1. uninstall previous version of SPE (VERY IMPORTANT, otherwise SPE won't run) 2. download and unpack the archive SPE-0.8.1.d-wx2.6.1.0-no_setup.zip 3. run SPE with 'python SPE.py' If it doesn't work, let me know privately.
