Re^6: Need help installing wxWidgets 2.9.4

Be careful of uninstallation. I wouldn't recommend it. What I would do is:

perl Build.PL wxWidgets-version=2.9.4
[download]

I use CPAN. Did you know that you can configure CPAN to uninstall for you? It'll uninstall conflicting files, but don't use it if you use INSTALL_BASE. Enter the CPAN shell:

cpan> o conf init mbuild_install_arg
cpan> --uninst 1
cpan> o conf commit
[download]

Check that the change took effect:

cpan> o conf mbuild_install_arg
    mbuild_install_arg  [--uninst 1]
[download]

Now do

cpan> o conf init make_install_arg
cpan> UNINST=1
cpan> o conf commit
cpan> o conf make_install_arg
    make_install_arg  [UNINST=1]
[download]

It worked. You're done. Now install Wx.
