It's not a typo, the numbers indicate the C++ ABI (Application Binary Interface) version the code uses. This defines stuff like how to call functions, the stack layout, how to handle exceptions, etc. All pieces of code in a program must use the same ABI version, otherwise those pieces can't be used together. The ABI version used by gcc has changed in the past which always means that *every* code a program uses has to be recompiled with the new compiler version. As far as I know, version 1002 is still the current one and it was introduced by gcc 3.4. Before that, the version was 102 (don't ask me how these numbers are formed. I have to admit, it's a bit of an odd numbering scheme...). You can find out the ABI version a particular version of gcc uses by running the following command: g++ -E -dM - </dev/null|grep ABI Here on my machine (gcc 4.0.1), this produces the line: #define __GXX_ABI_VERSION 1002 So the above error message means that the wx libraries on the user's system were compiled with a compiler that uses ABI 1002 (i.e. gcc >=3.4) whereas the "program" contains parts that were built with a compiler that uses ABI 102 (such as gcc <3.4). But as mentioned above, it will only work when all components use the same ABI.
