Setting up in ubuntu, repository wxWidget ok?

[Seronis]

I've been using 8.02 and the febuary release from this year on my Windows systems for some time with no issues.  Havent bothered with SVN building C::B since before 8.02 was released.  I am now getting one of my computers set up with ubuntu 9.04 and have gcc and the latest Boost installed with no problems.

I noticed that the latest nightlies in windows are using the *.10 series of wxWidgets.  The ubuntu repo has version 2.8.9.1-0 which is surprisingly recent for a repo version.  Is there any C::B issues explicitely related to this version of wxWidgets or should I take the time to manually get 2.8.10 installed?  I dont mind putting in that effort, id just rather not worry about it and let the package manager control it if feasible.

Should also work with 2.8.9 (if self-compiled).
Getting more recent wxWidgets is not so hard, see here: http://wiki.wxpython.org/InstallingOnUbuntuOrDebian .

Yeah I use windows too much.  Keep forgetting how easy most software is to install in linux.  TY for the link
