<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
<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>

<li><p class="first">When building wxWidgets you need to decide if you want it to be a
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>
<pre class="literal-block">
---enable-rpath=/opt/wx/2.5/lib \
+--enable-rpath=/opt/wx/2.8/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
-into the same bin dir used by Python by using this command:</p>
