setup.py failed to complete compilation (building wxpython ansi)

[Faizol]

hi everyone.

I tried to post to this mailing group through nabble forum but I'm not
sure if the first post went through or not. If it did, I'm sorry for
this redundant post of the same problem.

platform: Fedora 11
path: /usr/local/bin

since Fedora 11 doesn't have python2.5, I downloaded the source and
compiled it with --disable-unicode flag (application requirement).
After that I've successfully compiled wxPython (unicode=0) and got it
installed. However I couldn't get setup.py in wxPython to compile
properly;

here's a snippet from the compilation;

what should I do to properly setup wxPython? I need python2.5 and ansi
version of wxPython coz of the application requirement.

Any help is really appreciated.

TIA.

best regards,
Faizol

Build Python with unicode enabled. You can still use the ansi version
of wxPython with it, but wxPython needs to be able to convert unicode
objects to an ansi wxString so it needs the Python unicode APIs. See
http://wiki.wxpython.org/UnicodeBuild for more details about what is a
"Unicode build" of wxPython.
