> Perhaps you need to also install the '...-dev' package. If you mean libwxbase2.8-dev then it is installed. If you meant libwxgtk2.8-dev then, it was not. Now I installed it and the installation of Alien::wxWidgets went well. It now installs in /home/gabor/perl5lib/lib/perl/5.8.8/Alien/wxWidgets.pm which is better but still not what all other modules do. my humble understanding is that it somehow does not care about my LIB= parameter for Makemaker.PL or the following param of Build.PL: --install_path lib=/home/gabor/perl5lib/lib With those parameters all other modules install directly in /home/gabor/perl5lib/lib (not the internal 5.8.8 specific directory) This creates a problem when installing using CPAN.pm as even after the successful installation of Alien::wxWidgets the installation of Wx won't find the already installed Alien::wxWidgets. I fixed that for myself by adding /home/gabor/perl5lib/lib/perl/5.8.8/ to PERL5LIB =============== Now onto installing Wx (note the firts line after Looks good) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Wx-0.82$ perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/gabor/perl5lib LIB=/home/gabor/perl5lib/lib Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good 'WX' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.

I'll continue my research later but if someone has ideas what am I doing wrong or why it is so difficult to start using Wx on Ubuntu I'd be glad to hear it. Gabor
