Pcbnew closes immediately
Application: Pcbnew
Version: (2014-03-31 BZR 4779)-product Release build
wxWidgets: Version 2.8.12 (release,
Platform: Linux 3.11.0-18-generic x86_64, 64 bit, Little endian, wxGTK
Boost version: 1.54.0
When I click on Pcbnew, the main Kicad window prompt prints that it opens and then immediately closes. When I open Kicad from the terminal and then click the Pcbnew icon the following is printed out in the teminal:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/
from wx._core import *
File "/usr/lib/
import _core_
ImportError: /usr/lib/
Error in sys.excepthook:
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib/

from xml.parsers.expat import ExpatError
File "/usr/lib/

ImportError: /usr/lib/
Original exception was:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/
from wx._core import *
File "/usr/lib/
import _core_
ImportError: /usr/lib/
I am not sure if this is considered a bug or if I am using the wrong wxpython or something, in which case it would be on my end and not the developers. I know Kicad is going through some massive changes right now and I am not sure if this caused from it or again, if it is me.
Additional Information:
System: Xubuntu 13.10 64bit
Computer: Hp nc6320
Any insight is appreciated
