i've been having some trouble installing miro (internet tv application,) and wxpython on sabayon/gentoo.

my error for when i try to start miro is...

Here are some gentoo-specific directions for installing wxpython:

It looks fairly simple if using ubuntu:

Have you tried posting to the forums and reading the FAQs at the mirro homepage:

http://********miro.com/

For some reason, the above link is being censored, even when hand-typed.

it should be www getmiro.com

Don't know if you've resolved this yet, but I was having the same problem so I unmasked the newest version of wxpython and it seems to work fine.

Added "dev-python/wxpython" to /etc/portage/package.keywords.

This unmasks wxpython to version 2.6.4.0-r1.
