Hi Mark,
Thanks for the speedy reply. Yes, I know it is officially the dev release, but there are some features I want to play with that are not in 2.8 and the wx people say it is stable enough to use for most projects. I have done a certain amount with 2.8 previously but always on a system that had it installed through binaries. I took the entries for the version of wxWidgets built by Alien out of ldconfig, updated and re-ran - same errors. I then removed the entire module from the server, downloaded the svn copies of wxperl and Alien. Again, Alien installed fine, no errors, but wxperl gave the same errors. I can only assume I am missing a dependancy somewhere? Robin
