Yes, Gtk made several incompatible changes, including the typedef change
around gtk1.2.7 IIRC. you'll probably want gtk1.2.3 to build wxgtk2.1.11
that is currently in potato, but the latest wxwin cvs sources fix these
(and many other) problems.
Since nothing in potato currently depends on wxgtk2.1 it's probably pretty
safe to yank it if it won't build with the gtk version there. wxWin 2.2 is
getting very close to release so it's probably best not to distribute 2.1.11
anyway since a lot of fixes have been made since then.
I'll be uploading a new set of packages to woody when 2.2 is released but if
anyone really wants a pre-release set before then let me know and I'll put
them up somewhere..
best,
Ron
