dataviewctrl is new in 2.9 so I decided to install wxPython 2.9
version.
btw, I got an error during build time.

cd wxPython-src-2.9.2.4/wxPython
python build-wxpython.py --build_dir=../bld

checking for GST... configure: WARNING: GStreamer 0.8/0.10 not
available.
configure: error: GStreamer not available
Error running configure
ERROR: failed building wxWidgets
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/home/nprtouch/Downloads/wxPython-src-2.9.2.4/build/tools/
build-wxwidgets.py", line 62, in exitIfError

BuildError


I am using python 2.7. when I had builded the source file, I got an
error.
do you have any idea what this mean?

wxWidgets (and therefore wxPython) depends on other packages in order to
provide some of its functionality. In order to use those other packages
at compile time their headers and other development files need to be
installed. On Ubuntu those are usually available as separate packages
with "-devel" or similar in the package name, so search in the package
repository for gstreamer's -devel package and install that. You will
also need one for gconf. You should probably pay close attention to
that part of the build (wxWidget's configure step) to see if there are
others that are missing and install -devel packages for those as well,
because configure will just disable functionality for some of packages
if they are missing, but wxPython requires them.

You have to install the GStreamer support. see the thread "2.9.2.4 on
Ubuntu 10.10 install" for other things I run into when I tried to install.

I am at a point with lots of help from Robin that it now builds but
there are still issues that the wxPython demo doesn't run correctly - so
maybe you want to wait for 2.9.3 or use 2.8.

I see, I would be better wait for the stable version of wxpython 2.9.
Thank both of you.
