If you are building a private copy of wxWindows (IOW, not installed
in a standard library location) the it can be kind of a hassle to
in a standard library location) then it can be kind of a hassle to
always have to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable so wxPython can
find the wxWindows shared libraries. You can hard code the library
path into the binaries by using the rpath option when configuring
wxWindows. For example::

Installing wxPython on OS X is nearly the same as the Unix
instructions above, except for a few small, but important details:
1. The --enable-rpath configure option is not supported. (At least it
didn't the last time I checked...) If there is a way to do
something similar please let me know.
1. The --enable-rpath configure option is not needed since the path to
the wxWindows dynlibs will automatically be encoded into the
extension modules when they are built. If you end up moving the
wxWindows dynlibs to some other location (such as inside the .app
bundle of your applicaiton, for distribution to other users,) then
you will need to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to this location so the
dynlibs can be found at runtime.
2. If you don't install wxWindows to a standard location you will need
to use the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable instead of the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH described above.
