You forgot to add that Ken should replace libwx_gtk-2.4.so.0 by a
more recent version.
Concerning your sermon :) I'd like to add that these dependency
problems are not really an OS matter but a consequence of the
freedom that *ix users enjoy. There's no big brother telling
(and forcing) them where to go today. But to ease the burden of
freedom *ix should adopt some Windows features, notably the
role of interfaces, registry and installation. I'd like to
see in *ix systems:
- interfaces that streamline communication between processes
and objects and free users and programmers from *having to*
look into source code.
- a registry recording the state of the system and a well defined
registry interface used by system and applications.
- well defined procedures to modify the state of the system
(installation, deletion and configuration) which respect
dependencies and don't violate consistency.
I would already be happy if this could be achieved for Linux
if not for all open source unixes.
Mit freundlichen Gruessen,
Peter Maas
