Is that prefix argument something I'd need to add when I run Configure before building wxWidgets?

I assume by this you mean you installed to --prefix /home/brian_jones/wxWidgets-2.9.3/buildgtk. You'll need to 'make install' somewhere. > 3) the perl test of Alien you gave me returns... > -L/home/brian_jones/wxWidgets-2.9.3/buildgtk/lib -lpthread > -Wl,-rpath,/home/brian_jones/wxWidgets-2.9.3/buildgtk/lib > -lwx_gtk2_adv-2.9 > -lwx_gtk_core-2.9 -lwx_base-2.9 Ok. Having a permanent LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting in your profile is a fundamentally broken thing to do - with now apparent consequences. Although I guess it prevents casual linking against non 'approved' versions of libraries. I can't really think through the quickest way to a fix for you so a long way = wxWidgets is installed to a path. You have run make install. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH= As you seem to have some LD settings in your environment you will also want to check you don't have LD_PATH set. export LD_PATH= export WX_CONFIG=/path/to/wxWidgets/afterinstall/path/bin/wx-config .. test you are actually pointing at a real wx-config before building or else you'll just pick up the default 2.9.2 clean build of Wx. Hope it helps. Mark
