Hi Les, The Ubuntu wx libs are indeed out of date. I get my packages from http://apt.wxwidgets.org/
The line I use for Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 is: deb http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ gutsy-wx main These are the latest wx libs and the ones for 7.10 work fine on 8.04. They also have versions for different distributions of debian and ubuntu. You might be able to instruct the user to add the appropriate line to their software sources, or you may be able to write a small script to detect the distribution and add the correct line to the etc/apt/sources.list automatically. Check out this page for more information: http://wiki.wxpython.org/InstallingOnUbuntuOrDebian Moses On Wed, 2008-06-18 at 14:59 +0100, Leslie Newell wrote: > Hi Andrea, > > I had sort of expected that to happen somewhere along the line.
