[erlang-questions] IPC bus for Erlang?

[Dan Gudmundsson]

On Mac OS X you will need to compile and install wxWidgets by yourself, before compiling 
erlang. The wxWidgets libs that are included with Mac OS X Leopard is old and is missing 
some things I require, (e.g. wxStyledTextCtrl which provides erlang syntax highlighting).

See compiling instructions here:
