Invoking the parsers crashes the application with a bus error. The workaround I found is to import xml.parsers.pyexpat before importing wx - but this is a workaround, not a bug fix.

Can someone comment on this? What could I do to narrow the bug?
Hi Mark,
* This problem may be caused by wxPython being built/linking against older versions of libexpat than pyexpat is.
Hi Apparently the wxwidgets Portfile is causing this error. "configure.ldflags" lacks "-L${prefix}/lib" and thus configure thinks that expat does not exist in the system and links to its own version of the library. Cheers Lorenz
