[erlang-questions] OTP R13B04: cannot build wx (is wxGtk required?)

[Dan Gudmundsson]

Installation requirements for ubuntu 9-10, can be found here:
http://wiki.github.com/erlang/otp/installation

If you build wxWidgets on your own, read the readme in otp/lib/wx directory.
You will, for example, need to build stc located in the contrib directory.

But I havn't tested without gtk, so you are on your own and I don't know how
good the X11 port is so I don't know how well the erlang applications will
work with that port.

Anyway config.log in the wx sub-directory contains the actual
configure errors, so that
is where you can start digging.
