DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR WAS REPORTED. I know
this has no effect, but I tried...
-wxWindows/Gtk is still in development and you can have a look
-at the TODO.txt to see what's missing before an official beta
-and - more important - before we can aim at binary compatibility.
+This is the beta release which means that we have a feature
+freeze. We'll move up to versin 2.0 rather soon and from then
+on there will be no more binary incompatible changes. We might
+add more classes, but none that would alter the behaviour of
+the existing ones. The library produced by the install process
+of the final version will be called libwx_gtk_1_0.a (static)
+and libwx_gtk_1_0.so.2.0.0 (shared) so that once a version
+of wxWindows/Gtk for GTK 1.2 comes out we'll change the name
+of the library to avoid linking problems.
