The current tarball of wxDockIt (version 2.1) seems to
have problems with its install scripts.
Firstly, the configure script is not executable... we
have to "chmod +x" it to make it work.
Then, the compilation goes fine, but the library itself
is then installed under the following names:
/usr/lib/libwxdockit-2.1
/usr/lib/libwxdockit-2.1.so.0

... I think the libwxdockit-2.1 file should be named
libwxdockit-2.1.so instead.

As I am using Gentoo linux, I have created an ebuild to
install wxdockit through its package system. To correct
this for the moment, I have simply made the following
symlink at the end of the installation:
/usr/lib/libwxdockit-2.1.so -> libwxdockit-2.1

... but I think it would be cleaner to correct this in
the tarball itself for the next release.
My ebuild can be found here:
