source. Please follow the intstructions both in this file and in
<a class="reference" href="BUILD.html">BUILD</a> to perform this task. Where there is overlap the items
described here will take precedence for doing installations.</p>

private copy only accessed by wxPython, or if you would like it to
path into the binaries by using the rpath option when configuring
wxWidgets. For example:</p>

---enable-rpath=/opt/wx/2.5/lib \

using wxGTK on Solaris when compiling wxPython as described below.

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