ok... on that last note.

the whole mandrivia thing is bothering me as according to the staff it should compile, yet it doesn't. i've installed everything the google code page says and yet i get nowhere. this issue has been here from the begining. and i don't think i've made any head way. i always get compiling errors (lately from wxwidgets.) my maintainer can't get it working ether and it's bothering me. although ubuntu is a deb system mandrivia is rpm. and i guess ubuntu has something by default that mandrivia doesn't. i don't know what it is, but unless i can get more help than (insert command line junk here) or "read the google code page" or "make sure you have everything" i can't get anywhere. I'm not trying to anger anyone, but if i could get some help i would appreciate it. if i could get this working, i could make a spec file rpm users could use, that would eliminate this whole problem. but if i can't get it to compile in the first place, i can't make a spec file, and currently there is no spec file. (The spec file tells the os how to use the source/data the requirements, where to install to etc.) i would make one but i have to prove that it can be compiled before i can. if a generous staff person could help make one that would be appreciated. On a side note, has anyone successfully compiled on mandrivia? Just asking. Anyway, any help would be appreciated. thank you for your time.
