Hi,

I have tried to install wxPerl on Ubuntu 7.10 but as far as I could find
there is no such Ubuntu package.

So I tried CPAN.pm it tried to also install Alien-wxWidgets-0.35

The following questions I answered with an ENTER:

Do you want to build wxWidgets? [yes ]
Which archive type? [tar.gz ]
Do you want to include OpenGL support [no ]

and I got

Fetching wxWidgets...
fetching from: ftp://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/2.8.7/wxWidgets-2.8.7.tar.gz
Fetch failed! HTTP response: 500 Internal Server Error [500
LWP::Protocol::MyFTP: Bad hostname 'biolpc22.york.ac.uk']

which worries me as I thought CPAN modules should not dial out and
download stuff from other places.
If for nothing else because this creates a single point of failure in
installing wxPerl.

Anyway, it seemed to continue after that but in the end I got

Failed during this command:
 MBARBON/Alien-wxWidgets-0.35.tar.gz          : install NO
 MBARBON/Wx-0.82.tar.gz                       : make NO

I can send the full log but I hope that oters might already have a
pointer on how to proceed?

regards
   Gabor
