Be sure you are not using ext3 with certain versions of the 2.4.20
kernel. Jan's page should have covered this I think, so this
might not have been the issue.

Hmm. When you installed wxGTK from source, it probably went into
/usr/local/lib (unless you specified --prefix=/usr on the configure
line). You need to make sure that this is in your library path.
The easiest way is to edit your /etc/ld.so.conf file and add a
line with '/usr/local/lib'. Then run 'ldconfig'.
Hope this helps....
