 Information on how to install can be found in the file 
 INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
 many systems:
 
-./configure --with-gtk
-make
-su <type root password>
-make install
-ldconfig

+    cd gtk
+    ../configure --with-gtk

+    make install
+    ldconfig
+
+In order to use wxGTK with GTK 2.0 you need to use --enable-gtk2
+configure option. To build the library in Unicode mode (all
+strings will be wide strings and so on) you need to configure
+with GTK 2.0 and add --enable-unicode.
+
+Note that so far, support for GTK 2.0 has only been tested on
+Linux with glibc 2.2.
+
+
+Please note that it is strongly advised to build the library in
+a separate directory, as shown above, as it allows you to have
+different builds of it (for example with and without debug) in
+parallel. If you build in the source directory, don't forget to
+do "make clean" before changing the configuration!

 follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
