I don't speak ubuntu releases, but Debian etch (stable) has no libwx-perl while lenny (testing) has 0.82. If you don't have that in your apt-cache, I'll guess that your ubuntu is of the etch flavor. >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?

If you're worried, you could install libwxgtk and say 'no' to the building, but IIRC, that was no fun on etch so it's probably best to fetch and let it build. >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? Well, you'll need to fix this: >Fetch failed! HTTP response: 500 Internal Server Error [500 >LWP::Protocol::MyFTP: Bad hostname 'biolpc22.york.ac.uk'] In patches/data, you'll find the url.
