wxWindows/GTK requires the GTK+ library to be installed on your system.
It has to be a stable version, preferebly version 1.0.6. When using
-a version previous to 1.0.6 you'll get crashes here and there. This
-is certain to happen with colors in native widgets.
+a version previous to 1.0.6 you'll get crashes here and there.

+wxWindows/GTK does NOT work with the 1.1.X versions of the GTK+ library
+and we will wait until the 1.2 version comes out and has stabilized
+until we'll work with that library.
You can get the newest version of the GTK+ from the GTK homepage
