Hi Alexander, 1) Alien does use the currently installed version of Wx, but you have to tell it where it is. There are a lot of emails on this list telling you how to do it eg:
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.wxperl.users/2011/01/msg7803.html Many of them are from Mark Dootson to me, trying to help me to understand. There are more from Mark here: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.wxperl.users/2011/06.html Have you created yourself a script rather than running from the command line. It'll make it all much easier. In fact Mark's installation uses Perl itself to install. You'll find examples in the above posts. 2) I recall that ExtUtils has changed a few times in the last year and that the changes are required for the most recent Wx from cpan. I suggest you make sure that you have the most recent version of the ExtUtils::ParseXS, I don't recall the syntax. Good luck and keep posting. I'll keep watching.

My base is macports + wxWdigets + perl 5.12. Than I go to cpan and install Wx. 1. Why does Alien::Wx does not uses the allready install WxWidgets? 2. Why does Wx crahses while install - see below. thx Alexander # ------------------------------------------------------------------- # Running install for module 'Wx' Running make for M/MD/MDOOTSON/Wx-0.9903.tar.gz Has already been unwrapped into directory /Users/ademmler/.cpan/build/Wx-0.9903-ofU3Uj CPAN.pm: Going to build M/MD/MDOOTSON/Wx-0.9903.tar.gz /opt/local/bin/perl /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.12.3/ExtUtils/xsubpp -noprototypes -nolinenumbers -typemap /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.12.3/ExtUtils/typemap -typemap ../../typemap -typemap typemap RichText.xs > RichText.xsc && mv RichText.xsc RichText.c Undefined subroutine &ExtUtils::ParseXS::errors called at /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.12.3/ExtUtils/xsubpp line 41. make[2]: *** [RichText.c] Error 255 make[1]: *** [subdirs] Error 2 make: *** [subdirs] Error 2 MDOOTSON/Wx-0.9903.tar.gz /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible Failed during this command: MDOOTSON/Wx-0.9903.tar.gz : make NO
