This is probably because i built wxWidgets manually with --disable-shared which creates .a files and not .dylib. Trying to remove everything. I thought I had removed it all... but now installing Wx from cpan still thinks that wxWidgets is installed and then complains that it is not. Do you know how it tests for the presence of the wxWidget libraries? I also assume that cpan is now supposed to download and install the wxWidgets library itself? >>> $ file <one of wxWidgets' dylib files> >> $ file /usr/lib/libexpat.1.dylib >> /usr/lib/libexpat.1.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 3 architectures >> /usr/lib/libexpat.1.dylib (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit >> dynamically linked shared library x86_64 >> /usr/lib/libexpat.1.dylib (for architecture i386): Mach-O dynamically >> linked shared library i386 >> /usr/lib/libexpat.1.dylib (for architecture ppc7400): Mach-O >> dynamically linked shared library ppc > > Err... this is expat, not wxWidgets... the wxWidgets libraries are called > libwx_*.dylib. Sorry, my misunderstanding I thought you meant show one of the library files that is linked from Wx.bundle above. >> Separately, I did also manage to compile wxWidgets 2.9.1, but I couldn't get >> Wx-0.9702 to 'make' against that. > > I have some uncommitted fixes for that that will be in the next wxPerl > release. Although from reading the wiki sites it looks like the Cocoa version is not yet complete in 2.9.x yet anyway? thanks again for your help adam
