The first question would be - have you actually built stc?

Second, Wx now relies on Alien::wxWidgets which, amongst other things,
will build wxWidgets nicely for you and give you independent wxWidgets
libraries for wxPerl.

Slight problem is that Alien::wxWidgets is currently attached to
wxWidgets 2.6.3 - but this is easily fixed.

1.) Download source for Alien::wxWidgets.
2.) Replace file ....\patches\data with the attached file.
3.) Build Alien::wxWidgets with
perl Build.PL
perl Build
perl Build test
perl Build install

When asked if you want to build wxWidgets, answer 'Yes' (THIS IS NOT THE
DEFAULT)

Go for coffee.

Then build wx- 0.67 again.

All should now be swimmingly fine.
This works for me, but I have to follow the basic instructions and get
Alien::wxWidgets to control the build process as I'm a linux novice.

If you don't want to build a version of wxWidgets just for wxPerl, then
I guess you'll have to figure out how to build STC properly.
