Hi Roderich,
On the machine where have create the package I have seen this in the lib
directory:
[cadBuild_rh48_32-erezd] Wx_installer> l
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/Alien/wxWidgets/gtk_2_8_10_uni/lib/|grep
libwx_baseu-2.8.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Oct 19 15:34 libwx_baseu-2.8.so ->
libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Oct 19 15:34 libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0 ->
libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0.6.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1547248 Oct 19 15:34 libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0.6.0
and it is the same for all the lib files.
The libwx_baseu-2.8.so is a link to libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0 which itself is a
link to libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0.6.0 ...
Maybe this is what confuses wxpar...?
Thanks
Erez
