OK, glad to know it is not just my stupidity (which is a quite likely explanation for most things...). However, my feeling is that unless GNUmed works well on Windows, you'll never attract a big enough user base to justify the investment of reources (voluntary and funded) which GNUmed deserves. The reality is that the vast majority of medical practices use Windows, not Linux. > We will figure it out for sure but if you have the nerve try the GNU/Linux > version. Installation is painless.

I agree that the installation on Windows is painless - it took me about 5 minutes, including downloading and installing all the requisite packages (and uninstalling Python 2.4 which I already had on my Windows box, although I probably didn't need to uninstall). By contrast, I still can't get wxWidgets to work on my Fedora Core 2, 3 or 4 systems. > The Windows installer build process is script based.

It's because I compiled all sorts of versions of GTK on those machines to try to get a video post-processing application working - but now wxWidgets refuses to compile or install from an RPM. I think I need to re-install Linux (or maybe try a Debian-based distro on a different partition). But life is too short to constatntly swap or re-install Linux distros (well, mine is likely to be, anyway).
