COMPILING USING CONFIGURE
=========================

* The simplest case
-------------------

If you compile wxWidgets on Linux for the first time and don't like to read 
install instructions just do (in the base dir):

> ./configure --with-x11
> make
> su <type root password>
> make install
> ldconfig
> exit

...
