Hi,

I have build kicad-git today. Eeschma freezes (for me) if I try to place a new component. Anyone an idea how to debug/fix this?

The problem was that even with KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON = OFF, src/kicad-git/pcbnew/python/kicad_pyshell/init.py would be loaded and it imports "wx" which is wxWidgets causing the version mismatch problem.

I reported it upstream under https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1760200 and will be fixed soon. As a hotfix, you can temporarily delete /usr/share/kicad/scripting/kicad_pyshell/init.py. Of course completely disabling scripting also solves it, but it would be disabling too much unnecessarily.

@k3a, I am not ure where you are going with this. Wxpython scripting is already disabled.

I can confirm that Pcbnew freezes when opened from Kicad. It won't fully initialize UI and attempt to close the window would crash the app.

The core reason seems to be mismatched versions of the wxWidgets (wxgtk) and wxPython. The problem can be resolved by disabling WxPython scripting or ensuring versions match (which may be difficult to achieve long-term):

-DKICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=OFF

Not sure how many people are using this part of scripting. KiCad 5 is a very nice improvement over version 4 and I recommend it to everyone! :)
