Be sure you are not using ext3 with certain versions of the 2.4.20 kernel.

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.... jlc
