- Whoops, missed list. Hi Shawn,
Did you ever get Wx::Panel working satisfactorily and tabbing sorted out? Even now I find that if I'm using some controls like wxScrollingWindow, for example, I still have to add an *extra* wxPanel, to get tabbing working properly within it. Anyhow, Wx::Media. Is this the same as Wx::MediaCtrl? I had no idea you could install it separately from the rest of Wx. It has lots of other wx commands embedded within it, like wxString etc. So I would guess you need the whole distribution. Why do you not just use "cpan -i Wx" or "cpan -if Wx" (install with force)? This error message "Can't locate Wx/Media.pm" means wxMediaCtrl is not installed. If you look back within your installation script output (what you call '...') you'll find two cryptic error messages one goes something like (and this is from memory): Entering directory media. Nothing to do for 'all'. Leaving directory media. Which means that your 'make' is not doing anything for wxMediaCtrl. The second goes something like (and again from memory): ... Media .... not installed some functionality will be missing. Some common problems with wxMediaCtrl follow: What version of Linux are you using? I have had difficulty with wxMediaCtrl with (K)Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 - 9.04, 9.10 and 10.04 work fine. I haven't tried 11.10 if it's out yet. You can get past the above error message on 10.10 and 11.04, but I have not got it to run satisfactorily. Best results are with 9.04, 9.10 and 10.04. Finally there are some dependencies for wxMediaCtrl. If you don't install these manually first nothing will work. I have a list here, but I don't recall which are mandatory and which I need for my purposes. Try the following first: apt-get -y install libgconf2-dev apt-get -y install libgtk2.0-dev apt-get -y install libgstreamer0.10-0 apt-get -y install libgstreamer0.10-dev apt-get -y install libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 apt-get -y install libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev Then run "cpan -i Wx". If it still doesn't work get back to the list and I'll think again. Good luck.
