Re: Configuration fails for wxPython-4.0.0b2 in Python 2.7 virtualenv

Thanks for the reply Robin. I checked the output of 
sysconfig.get_config_vars('Py_ENABLE_SHARED') and 
sysconfig.get_config_vars('LDFLAGS') and for the Python 2.7 I'm using and 
they both check out with what was done in the above Centos guide.

I did go ahead and see if there's a Centos 6 IUS rpm, and there is. Using 
the bootstrap link as a reference, I did manage to install a few more 
packages, but there was no change in build results. It still fails when 
it's trying to run the link on line 90 in the config.log. It's interesting 
because I've found (by hand) that line 90 compiles in the appropriate 
directory if I remove the destination-less '-Wl, -rpath' option from that 
line so the compile command reads:

/usr/bin/g++ test.cpp.1.o -o /local/data/fritz2/gmosby/Downloads/wxPython-
4.0.0b2/build/waf/2.7/gtk3/.conf_check_96104c77ca554151fdca76e98067ec0d/
testbuild/testprog -Wl,-Bstatic -Wl,-Bdynamic' -L/usr/local/lib -lpython2.7


Let me know if you have anymore ideas. I'll check back in if I get this 
resolved.
