[wxperl-users] Activestate and WxPerl

[Jay S. <me...@he...>]

Hi,

<I've read through the archives first, before posting>

I just installed Activestate (v5.6.1, below is the output of perl -V).  Then
following the readme (I untarred/unzipped to d:\data\download\wxperl). I
tried to install and I'm getting:

D:\Data\Download\WXPerl>ppm install --location=. Wx
Installing package 'Wx'...
Error installing package 'Wx': Read a PPD for 'Wx', but it is not intended
for this build of Perl (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread)

2 questions:
1) suggestion on fixing the above?
2) Do I need to install WxWindows in addition to WxPerl (I think so)?  any
howtos or pointer you could give me?

Thanks
Jay
