Help Needed with wxPython Configuration

Question

Hi, I am having trouble with wxPython on SUSE Linux Enterprize Server 9. The Computer has several Itanium 2 processors, and the version of Linux is for these processors. Python works just fine. So do other graphical toolkits Tkinter, pygtk, and qt. However when I try to use wxpython it does not work. It is definitly installed. I can see the files and it can even be imported into python, but when I attempt to do anything like draw a window, python crashes with a Segmentation fault .

Here is what happens when I start the python in the promt and type into it

vindicator 108% python
Python 2.3.3 (#1, Feb  5 2005, 18:59:45)
[GCC 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from wxPython.wx import *
>>>
>>> class MyApp(wxApp):
...     def OnInit(self):
...         frame = wxFrame(NULL, -1, "Hello from wxPython")
...         frame.Show(true)
...         self.SetTopWindow(frame)
...         return true
...
>>> app = MyApp(0)
Segmentation fault

When I run the test program with a -v option this happens:
