Some issues with "/usr/lib/" and "/lib/" and wx

Can't see how. I have configure log for wx, but nothing "unusual" there for me.

Thanks for suggestion, I'll have it in mind, but will try to avoid removing all installed packages and recompiling everything again if I can

As intermediate workaround I patched Matplotlib wx backend source: _load_bitmap() function that passes filename to wx.Bitmap() I changed to:

f = open(filename, 'rb')
wx.BitmapFromImage(wx.ImageFromStream(f))
f.close()

and that works fine for Matplotlib

I'll wait on wxPython mailing list someone to suggest "proper" patch so that other packages work without issue
