I am trying to install wxPython from src as I need the exact version 3.0.2.0 on Ubuntu. (So, I cannot follow the suggesion in the related question) I downloaded the source and did ./configure, make and make install. It seems to have ended without errors with the following message.
The installation of wxWidgets is finished. On certain platforms (e.g. Linux) you'll now have to run ldconfig if you installed a shared library and also modify the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or equivalent) environment variable. wxWidgets comes with no guarantees and doesn't claim to be suitable for any purpose.
I confirmed my installation is not working by doing import wx & wx.version(). What needs to be done to complete the installation? Where should I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to?
Doing ./configure, make and make install only builds and installs wxWidgets. You also need to build wxPython using the build-wxpython.py script, which by default will also do the wxWidgets portion of the build for you, using known good configure flags. See wxPython/docs/BUILD.txt in the source tarball.
