That explains my confusion over this.

This shouldn't be necessary to run OpenGL but maybe Martin is using it  
for something.

Here is a potential problem. I was using

--with-x
--with-opengl=aqua
--with-tcltk-includes="/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Headers / 
Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Headers /Library/Frameworks/ 
Tk.framework/PrivateHeaders"
--with-python=/usr/local/bin/python-config
--with-wxwidgets=/usr/bin/wx-config (on someone's suggestion recently  
to solve a different issue)


I just changed that and compiled using

  --with-wxwidgets=/usr/local/lib/wxPython-unicode-2.8.8.1/bin/wx-config

But I'm still getting the python crash. I'm attaching the new crash log.

If OSX 10.5 is installing Python 2.5.1, maybe I should ditch Python  
2.5.2 for simplicity's sake. I still want the most recent wxPython  
however, because it contains some important bug fixes for OSX. Do you  
think I can just uninstall Python 2.5.2 and wxPython, then reinstall  
wxPython linked to the system Python? Can I just move other site  
packages or do I have to reinstall everything?

Michael
