Other RPM-based distributions

You can install from the source RPM for these. Don't worry, this is not too complicated.

If your Linux distribution supplies wxWidgets (or wxWindows) packages, install these. They may be called libwxgtk, and you need to make sure you install the -dev or -devel package which is required for building programs which use wxWidgets rather than just running them. You need at least wxWidgets 3.0 to build current releases of Survex.

If your Linux distribution doesn't supply wxWidgets packages, you'll need to build from source, which isn't too complex. Firstly, make sure you have the -dev or -devel packages for Gtk+ installed. Then you'll need to download the wxWidgets source code and install from that using:

rpmbuild -ta --with gtk3 wxWidgets-3.0.5.tar.bz2
(if you have an older system without rpmbuild, use rpm in its place).

Or if you're using Gtk+2:

rpmbuild -ta --with gtk2 wxWidgets-3.0.5.tar.bz2
(if you have an older system without rpmbuild, use rpm in its place).

Once you have wxWidgets installed:

Download Source code [4617K] + Sample Data [331K]

And then execute the following command as root to build and install Survex:

rpmbuild -ta survex-1.4.12.tar.gz
(if you have an older system without rpmbuild, use rpm in its place).
