Dear: I installed Phenix-1.7-650 in my SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP3 X64 system from source code. When I source /soft/phenix-1.7/phenix-1.7-650/phenix_env and try to run it by typing phenix in terminal, it is said: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/soft/phenix-1.7/phenix-1.7-650/phenix/wxGUI2/command_line/main.py", line 13, in <module> run(sys.argv[1:]) File "/soft/phenix-1.7/phenix-1.7-650/phenix/wxGUI2/command_line/main.py", line 7, in run from wxGUI2 import App File "/soft/phenix-1.7/phenix-1.7-650/phenix/wxGUI2/App.py", line 11, in <module> import wx ImportError: No module named wx The python in my OS is 2.4 with wxpython installed.

Please install from binary first, and use the source installer only if none of the binaries work. Some platforms have problems compiling wxPython properly (Fedora 6 and CentOS 5 are the systems we have noticed this on), for reasons we don't understand. We generally don't have time to debug source compilation on every possible platform - and there is almost always a binary installer that will work just as well. You should start with the installer built on FC3, and move up from there if it doesn't work (but it's usually the most compatible). (That said, we seem to have unusually many problems with SUSE Linux - not sure why.)
The python in my OS is 2.4 with wxpython installed. I don't know why it cannot start.
It doesn't matter if the OS has Python/wxPython or not - because we use relatively new features in both and can't rely on the OS being up-to-date, we distribute a complete set of libraries with the PHENIX installer. -Nat
