Did you use the --enable-shared configure option when building Python?

What command line are you using to do the wxPython build?

Where is your wxPython source coming from? (The source tarball from PyPI? A 
checkout or archive created from GitHub?)

This file is included in the PyPI source tarball, but since it is a 
generated file it is not checked in to git. If you're using wxPython source 
code from GitHub then you'll need to run extra steps to generate the 
missing files.

As long as you're using a 64-bit version of Linux and a 64-bit build of 
Python then the 64-bit build of wxPython would be the preferred 
configuration.
