You need to install the WxWidgets headers and libraries to your system, as explained in the Wx installation instructions. Specifically, the "dev" versions from the package manager will work. -Thomas "Excuse me for butting in, but I'm interrupt-driven..."	[reply]

Thank you for the input, I followed the instructions and seem to be getting somewhere, but still getting errors:Am I doing something wrong? Yes, you're not investigating the errors "Could not make: Unknown error" by itself isn't actionable, you need more info, increase debugging level or You need to use the CPAN look command to look Modulename , so that you can then do the Makefile.PL dance yourself to get the errors Then its solve the errors, or google them to solve them, or post them here...
