Archivist libwx_gtk2-2.4.so missing

[BitTorrentBuddha]

Okay, I'm running Ubuntu 5.10 and I have this program I'm trying to install, archivist, when I try to run the included binary, I get

./archivist: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2-2.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

where can I go about obtaining libwx_gtk2-2.4.so? (It's not any of the standard ones in synaptic) and if I can download it, where would I save it?

I would try installing libwxgtk2.4
If ubuntu doesn't have it you can download it and install it with

dpkg -i program_name.deb

[BitTorrentBuddha]

Have it installed as a package already = \

[Vergil83]

I think that should be it. From its sourceforge site

the developers advise was to build wxgtk from source. You might try that.
How to install software

[BitTorrentBuddha]

okay, much obliged, I've got it built from source now and i've done make install and ldconfig as the superuser, but now it says I need to appropriately edit the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, where is it located and in which way am I supposed to edit it? these are the final lines after running make

 ------------------------------------------------------

 The installation of wxWidgets is finished.  On certain
 platforms (e.g. Linux) you'll now have to run ldconfig
 if you installed a shared library and also modify the
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or equivalent) environment variable.

 wxWidgets comes with no guarantees and doesn't claim
 to be suitable for any purpose.

 Read the wxWidgets Licence on licencing conditions.

actually you shouldn't need to change the library path. I would try the original program now.

[BitTorrentBuddha]

still returns the same error

[BitTorrentBuddha]

what would be my chances of success if i were to try and manually install the library? and if that would accomplish anything, where would i install it

which library are you talking about?

[BitTorrentBuddha]

Well, not a library, but the actual shared object. If that is possible.
