how to install wxWidgets/wx-config?

[ufmale]

i am trying to compile audacity, and got a error saying that
"could not find wx-config: is wxWidgets install? is wx-config in your path?"

i "locate wx-config" and found similar file as

/usr/share/apps/kdevappwizard/tempate-common/wx-configure.in".

Do i just rename the file and set path to that dir, or i need to instal anything else before building audacity?

Hi ufmale and welcome to the forums. Which distro are you running? That will largely determine the best way to address the problem. I recently ran into same problem with wxwidgets/wxGTK and CentOS... I have audacity running on Slackware too.

I am using RedHat enterprise I think it is version 4.

The easiest way to install audacity with Rdhat/Fedora is through yum. Have you been using it? Go here and follow the directions for adding Dag to your yum configuration. After doing:

yum update

Which might take some time, Do:

yum install audacity

Note: If by chance you already have FreshRPMs configured in your yum, comment it out before installing audacity through Dag. FreshRPM's lists a newer version of wxGTK and it will not work. The Dag version of audacity needs wxGTK 2.4.
