[erlang-questions] How to get wxerlang working in in Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS

[Stefan Houtzager]

Thanks Boris,

When I install libwxbase3.0-dev, libwxgtk3.0-dev and libglu1-mesa-dev
instead of  freeglut3-dev wx2.8-headers wx-common libwxbase2.8
libwxgtk2.8-dev libqt4-opengl-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgl1-mesa-dev
libglu1-mesa-dev libpng3
I get the same error on  wx:demo().
which wx-config && wx-config --version-full gives
/usr/bin/wx-config
3.0.0.0
  Maybe I have to configure some files from within my script?
