+<p>Notice that above I used a prefix option of "/opt/wx/2.8". You can
+use whatever path you want, such as a path in your HOME dir or even
+one of the standard prefix paths such as /usr or /usr/local if you
+like, but using /opt this way lets me easily have multiple versions
+and ports of wxWidgets "installed" and makes it easy to switch
+between them, without impacting any versions of wxWidgets that may
+have been installed via an RPM or whatever. For the rest of the
+steps below be sure to also substitute "/opt/wx/2.8" with whatever
+prefix you choose for your build.</p>
