Installing xCHM / WxWidgets

[nortino]

I'm trying to install xCHM, to read a Windows help file. In the read-me of xCHM, it says I need to install WxWidgets and CHMLIB first. So I went into Smart and installed everything it found for WxWidgets, and then intalled CHMLIB. This seemed to work (no errors). Now when I run "./configure && make" for xCHM it says the following:

"checking for wx-config... no
configure: error:
wxWidgets must be installed on your system
but the wx-config script couldn't be found.

Please check that wx-config is in path, the directory
where wxWidgets libraries are installed (returned by
'wx-config --libs' command) is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or
equivalent variable and wxWidgets version is 2.3.4 or above."

So it looks like WxWidgets isn't installed, except that I think it is . . . I looked around and I have a directory called "/usr/include/wx-2.8/wx" which is full of stuff. If I type "wx-config --libs" at the prompt it just says "wx-config: command not found". So, when Smart says it has 'installed' WxWidgets, has it actually installed it, or just downloaded a load of files - do I need to do anything else to actually install WxWidgets?

Also, I've never installed anything on suse by downloading a tar.gz before and then doing a make or whatever (I normally just try to use Smart), and I was wondering if there's like a 'standard' place to unpack the .gz into . . . I just made a temp folder in /home/fred and did it there, and also, after I do the make and install, can I delete all the files in /home/fred? And where will it actually install to?

Thanks in advance.
