Mageia forum

Hi there,
On my Mageia 9 box, regularly updated, I'm having the following:

• wxGlade, as installed the usual way, i.e. from the distro's depo, couldn't find wxglade.py using the installed script: wxpython in the /usr/bin/ directory.
• I tried downloading the package from Github, and I got a core dump on launching wxpython from it.
• I then resorted to putting the needed path explicitly in the script, but then the programme crashed with a core dump!

So, without my explicit path the script wouldn't find the initial entry point, but then with the path wxPython crashes.

Any hints or ideas on a remedy to this? Thanks in advance.

How about a symlink from where it is to where your app thinks it should be?

Have a look here:

Well, the launching script uses a convoluted way of finding the necessary file, so I just opted for providing an absolute path. But then, when the file is found, and the launching starts, a core dump happens. As I said, the same happens when I try to launch the programme using the freshly downloaded package, I mean when the file is located in the same directory.

I finally got to make it work! Haphazardly, I tried launching the wxglade.py file, rather than the file with the same name, but without the extension, though it is the one that should be used. Et Voilà!!!

Oh, by the way: That worked only from the downloaded archive from GitHub, but didn't work when I tried doing the same with version installed from the repo.

Glad you got it sorted.
