Yep, I'll verify this again (did a similar thing here myself a day or two back)
and make sure it's all sane...

....where exactly did you copy the file to?

Here? (relative to linux) /usr/local/wx287/bin

If it's going to go system-wide, yes, they'll need root_priv or sudo

If it's only going to be used at compile time of Jazz++ buld process,
it of course doesn't need to go system-wide...

In buildingwx, we use su for install
in buildingjazz we avoid root_priv

Going by your outlay here, the process should be wx->tex2rtf->jazz++

Is the plan to have a *release* tarball with all this automated?

I'll guess yes...do we offer users a switch in release form? I'm
thinking --enable-tex2rtf builds and installs tex2rtf system wide

no switch = build tex2rtf in tree only for the jazz++ doc conversions

None of this matters right now, and *YES* I do recognize the
stance might be to put tex2rtf out there into the world and I'm
all for that....

..but whenever that word "normal" stares me in the face...well,
I have got to speculate what's normal... ;-)

I'm in the state of Queensland or +10 (but take that with a grain of salt,
as I tend to keep rather peculiar hours)
