[Discuss-gnuradio] wxPython install issue

[Nan Zhang]

Hi,

 

I follow the instructions in http://www.gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/wxPythonCygwin to install wxPython. The environment is cygwin with python 2.5.1. But the process stalled in step 9. There is a build error and the error message is:

**********************************************************************************************************************

Has some one observed the same thing?

 

As a sideline, by googling "ValueError: invalid version number '2.18.50.20080523'", I found this http://groups.google.nl/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/7a07a8033332db17. It seems that similiar problem has been observed for python 2.5.2.
