A little birdy told me that Roger Wells said: ] thanks again. ] I installed wxWidgets 2.8.10 without apparent incident. I'll check ] around to see if there ] is a problem there. i recompiled truecypt again (just to make sure it still works fine... it did)... anyways, just FYI i pass the following to configure in my package build of wxWidgets: --enable-unicode --with-motif=no --with-gtk=yes i suppose i should upgrade to 2.8.10... must be getting lazy... i'll let you know if i run into problems with 2.8.10 itself...
