Hmm, I've recently installed Debian sarge, and for the first time on
anything other than a RISC PC, got a recent survex to work - I met
all the dependencies of the 1.0.34 .deb package.

The INSTALL file for 1.1.6 says "you might want to install one of
the prepackaged Linux versions". Well there isn't one, so "building
from source is very easy ..."

Following the (bog-standard) instructions, the ./configure script
whinges a bundle

1) checking for X ... no

despite the fact that I am running the script in a Konsole window
on a KDE desktop - looks to me that I have X ! xcaverot and aven from
1.0.34 also seem to believe I have X :) XFRee86 -version says I have
XFree86 v 4.3.0.1

2)

checking for wxgtk-2.6-config ... no
checking for wxgtk-2.5-config ... no
checking for wxgtk-2.4-config ... no
checking for wxgtk-config ... no
checking for wx-config ... no
configure: error: wxWindows not found

so I tried

apt-get install wxgtk-2.6-config
...
apt-get wxWindows

all of which say "Couldn't find package <whatever>"

Nothing in the INSTALL or README file sys what packages I need to install
to meet the dependencies for the build. So I'm stuck. I presume this is a
documentation issue, rather than a software one ?
