HI, though I have no first reaction at hand, well maybe : that building of wx is not that difficult ;-) , I would like to thank you for this feedback. You have a valid point, dependencies on linux can be a hassle. I still consider myself a linux newbie, though I can solve several issues by myself by now. Otherwise I still run into linux difficulties myself, and sometimes it is also package/dependency related.
So thanks for the feedback, maybe other people who use his flavor of linux, post some suggestions so we can turn this user into a happy CB user.
Personal note : Eclipse is not really that good (actually I want to say : it sucks, but I didn't ;-) ). Oh yes, don't forget the dependency for java, I have had dependency issues for java, and it's zillion versions (1.4 1.5 1.6 ...).
