-  Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk,
-  
-you have downloaded version 1.96 of the GTK+ port of C++ library
-wxWindows. Information on how to install can be found in the
-file install.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
-all systems
+   Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.3
 
-configure --without-threads
-make
-su (PASSWORD)
-make install
+you have downloaded version 2.3 of the GTK port of the 
+wxWindows GUI library.
 
-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.
+wxWindows no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early
+snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
+GTK 1.2.6 or above is recommended although some programs 
+will work with GTK 1.2.3 onwards.
 
-More information is available from my homepage at

+Information on how to install can be found in the file

+make install
+ldconfig

+When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and 
+follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
+please send a bug report to one of our mailing list, INCLUDING 
+A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR 
+VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR 
+WAS REPORTED. I know this has no effect, but I tried...
+
+The library produced by the install process will be called 
+libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.2.so.0.0.0 (shared) so 
+that once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes 
+out we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking 
+problems.
