Hi,
To workaround a problem with conflict of wxWidgets packages in FC6 I
recompiled wxWidgets from FC7/devel repository and changed the name of a
package. Now I have:
[marcinz@bolger ~]$ rpm -qa | grep wxGTK
wxGTK28-devel-2.8.3-3.fc6
wxGTK-2.6.3-2.6.3.2.3.fc6
wxGTK28-2.8.3-3.fc6
compat-wxGTK-common-2.4.2-21.fc6
compat-wxGTK-2.4.2-21.fc6
wxGTK28-gl-2.8.3-3.fc6
pgadmin 1.6.3 package rebuilt from SRPM for F7 works fine (wxGTK28
provides wxGTK-2.8 and libs can lay in the same directory - they have
different numbers).
The problem could be that you have to compile wxWidgets from sources
which takes a lot of disk space (and time).
Regards
Marcin
