Any suggestions are welcome. It would be nice to be able to
workgroup these systems instead of CD-networking.

You have to add a new user for SMB. You could give it the same username and password as your existing ubuntu user.
To do this, open a console and type the following (assuming you want create a user named 'pecan'):

sudo smbpasswd -a pecan

It will ask you twice for the new password and you 're done.

Why are you going through the pain of installing wxWidgets yourself?   I will update the wiki to be clear that you don't need to compile wxWidgets yourself if you are on Ubuntu 5.10, or any other distro that has a unicode build of wxGTK 2.6.X available.  The wxgtk2.6-dev package contains a perfectly fine version of wxWidgets I have compiled Code::Blocks against it many times.

You should also probably install your libraries to /usr/local/lib, that is the traditional place for them.  Almost all programs you build from source do this automatically so you don't need to tell them where to go with the --prefix command.  It is important to remember there is a windows way, and there is a linux way to do things.  Don't try the windows way on Linux.  You also don't need different subdirs for each wxWidgets version.  The libary names are unique so that you can have 2.6 unicode, 2.6 ansi, 2.6 unicode-debug, 2.6 ansi-debug, 2.5 unicode, 2.4 ansi, etc builds all in the same folder without any fear of over writing the libraries.

WOW!!!  That did the trick. Man, there are 1000s of ubuntu
users out there on Google trying to figure out these tricks.

I spent hours reading "workgrouping linux" messages
yesterday. And you had it in your head the whole time.

Amazing....

Thanks

Ok, guess I'll skip that instruction. That's what I needed to know.
I'll walk the rest of the wiki. So confusing..... what parts to use
and what parts not to.

Should I just plug along with the way thing are now or
start over again? Maybe I should copy GTK in both places
/opt... and /usr   will that work?



thanks

I searched google for "wxgtk2.6-dev" and got no hits.
Is this package different from the one mentioned in the wiki?
Could you include a url?

thanks
