Hi Alex,

On this system wx-config is in /usr/bin:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    45 Apr 15 07:54 /usr/bin/wx-config ->
/usr/lib64/wx/config/gtk2-unicode-release-2.6
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 39501 Apr 15 07:54 /usr/bin/wx-config-2.6

I tried both './configure --with-wx-config=/usr/bin/wx-config' and
/usr/bin/wx-config-2.6 and configure seems to be happy with either one.

Sorry, I misunderstood at first. I took out the -i from wxOil/Makefile.am,
line 45, but it still comes up with an error. Is the problem that somehow
wxrc isn't getting an argument? Finally, it is reporting that line 40 in
build-resources.pl 'die ($error);' is a "bad option" -- not sure about
that one.

I'm a bit green on coding, but I've built lots of hard to compile
packages. Hope you don't mind my questions.

Here is the latest error message:
