<p>This document will describe the few differences and additions to the
content in the <a class="reference" href="BUILD.html">BUILD</a> document for installing wxPython built from
source. Please follow the intstructions both in this file and in
path into the binaries by using the rpath option when configuring
wxWidgets. For example:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
---enable-rpath=/opt/wx/2.5/lib \
+--enable-rpath=/opt/wx/2.6/lib \
</pre>
<p>SOLARIS NOTE: The --enable-rpath option may cause problems when
using wxGTK on Solaris when compiling wxPython as described below.

install it to Python's site-packages dir, as well as some scripts

<p>If you would like to install to some place besides the prefix where
Python is installed, (such as to your home directory) then you can
Python Framework will then be installed in /Library/Frameworks. On
10.3 (Panther) Apple supplies the Python Framework as part of the
OS install, but it will be located in /System/Library/Frameworks
-instead. However, on Panther the site-pacakges dir is sym-linked
-to /Library/Python/2.3 so the wxPython pacakges will end up there,
+instead. However, on Panther the site-packages dir is sym-linked
+to /Library/Python/2.3 so the wxPython packages will end up there,
although they will still be visible from site-packages. If you are
building distributions of wxPython to be installed on other
machines be careful to install to /Library/Python/2.3. To
complicate things further, the Jaguar version, or a custom build
you do yourself will end up in /Library/Frameworks even on
Panther...</li>
