Steve, et.al. I ran the install script that I had previously posted, over the weekend. I didn't get an accurate runtime as I thought I would be able to scroll up the terminal window and get the start time, but the mass of messages overflowed the terminal window buffering. At any rate I estimate it took about 1 1/2 hours.
I tried running it again, but it died due to the wxPerl directory not being empty. So, I add commands to delete the Alien-wxWidgets and wxPerl directories and to log messages to a file. This version(below) ran in about 45 minutes, I assume because the packages were all ready updated and all the cpan stuff was already installed. Also included is the .desktop file need to create a Launcher entry. wxDemo is working! Try the media control demo then the next control down. I get an X crash when I do that. Comments for improvement are welcome. Thanks for your help.
