Running ride.py shows error "wxPython with ansi encoding is not supported"

When executing a file called ride.py, I get the following error message:

wxPython with ansi encoding is not supported You need to install wxPython 2.8 toolkit with unicode support to run RIDE. See http://wxpython.org for more information.

Configuration:

It looks that the ride doesn't support ansi mode. But xw.platformINfo includes "ansi" as below.

>>> print wx.PlatformInfo
('__WXGTK__', 'wxGTK', 'ansi', 'gtk2', 'wx-assertions-off', 'SWIG-1.3.29')

But wxPython, which is source, is compiled on OS. So I don't know how to set "ansi" mode. Compile steps are noted below:

   $../configure --prefix=/opt/wx/2.8 \
             --with-gtk \
             --with-gnomeprint \
             --with-opengl \
             --enable-debug \
             --enable-debug_gdb \
             --enable-geometry \
             --enable-graphics_ctx \
             --enable-sound --with-sdl \
             --enable-mediactrl \
             --enable-display \
             --with-libjpeg=builtin \
             --with-libpng=builtin \
             --with-libtiff=builtin \
             --with-zlib=builtin ; 
   $vi .make 
      (content of .make file)
      make $* \
           && make -C contrib/src/gizmos $* \
           && make -C contrib/src/stc $* 
   $.make
   $.make install 

   $cd wxPython
   $python setup.py build_ext --inplace --debug  WX_CONFIG=/opt/wx/2.8/bin/wx-config BUILD_GLCANVAS=0 
   $python setup.py install WX_CONFIG=/opt/wx/2.8/bin/wx-config

Thanks for your comments.

Can I change the value of the wx.PlatformInfo?????

Another point to be noted while using ride on linux(atleast RHEL and centos )is the python version. in my experience ride won't work with python 2.7. you'll have to use python 2.6.

It looks like you've installed the ANSI version of wxPython and from the Installation Instructions for robotframework-ride (their emphasis):

RIDE's GUI is implemented using wxPython toolkit. Version 2.8.6 or newer with Unicode support is required. The ANSI version is not supported.

So you'll need to reinstall wxPython after it's been built with Unicode support. As per the build guide, your config should include --enable-unicode and look something like this:

../configure --prefix=/opt/wx/2.8 \
             --with-gtk \
             --with-gnomeprint \
             --with-opengl \
             --enable-debug \
             --enable-debug_gdb \
             --enable-geometry \
             --enable-graphics_ctx \
             --enable-sound --with-sdl \
             --enable-mediactrl \
             --enable-display \
             --enable-unicode \
             --with-libjpeg=builtin \
             --with-libpng=builtin \
             --with-libtiff=builtin \
             --with-zlib=builtin \

Add --enable-unicode to the configure command.
