1. wxEuphoria v. 0.10 vs Ubuntu
Did anyone besides Matt Lewis get wxEuphoria version 0.10 working on
Ubuntu?
If so, how?
Does anyone besides me have a problem getting wxEuphoria version 0.10
to work on Ubuntu?
I'm stuck on version 0.9 until this problem is solved.

I'm starting to see whether I can run it at home or not. I'll keep you posted...
No success yet but then I haven't spent much time working on it either.

It looks like Jason was able to get the updated Ubuntu binary to work
on his version of Feisty:
http://wxeuphoria.sf.net/libwxeu.so.tar.gz
Just as a refresher, here's how to install:
Download and decompress libwxeu.so. Copy to "/usr/local/lib" (or, "/usr/lib",
in which case you should substitute that path below).
Run:
$ sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib
Confirm that it worked:
$ ldconfig -p | grep libwxeu
libwxeu.so (libc6) => /usr/local/lib/libwxeu.so
Now you should have the correct binary being loaded. The binary at the
above URL links to the Feisty-repository provided wxWidgets libraries.
On my system:
$ ldd /usr/local/lib/libwxeu.so | grep wx
libwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8.so.0
(0xb7f1c000)
libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.8.so.0
(0xb7e87000)
libwx_gtk2u_qa-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_qa-2.8.so.0 (0xb7e66000)
libwx_gtk2u_html-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_html-2.8.so.0
(0xb7dc7000)
libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8.so.0
(0xb7d05000)
libwx_gtk2u_core-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_core-2.8.so.0
(0xb797d000)
libwx_baseu_xml-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_baseu_xml-2.8.so.0
(0xb7973000)
libwx_baseu_net-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_baseu_net-2.8.so.0
(0xb7944000)
libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0 (0xb77e8000)

I've only tested two programs, but I got it up and working.
Xubuntu 7.0.4 (under virtualbox)
Installed all of the wx2.8 libraries under synaptic
Grabbed Matt's Ubuntu-specific (unicode) libwxeu.so and moved it to /usr/lib
ran sudo ldconfig.
I ran hello_world.exw and controls_demo.exw.
So where are we at?

Bingo!!!
It works!!!
Now is there any chance of automating the process with apt
(Advanced Packaging Tool)?

Sure, as soon as someone who knows how to package it helps me out. :)
I've had a brief look at some howtos on making a .deb package, and it
doesn't seem exactly trivial to me. While I'm not sure if we could
get it into the repository, we could at least provide a proper package
that would handle dependencies and installation.

I'll look into it. I'm looking at it right now -- doesn't really look too
complicated.

Question: would it be just as easy to supply an installation script? If I did a
debian package then I would want to do one for Euphoria as well. There already is
one in the archives but it's for 2.5. I could update it.

An installation script probably would be satisfactory. At least for now.
The idea is for people who download wxEuphoria-based programs from freshmeat
can make them work without too much techy stuff.
Some day when both Euphoria and wxEuphoria are sufficiently popular,
there will be a little icon in Ubuntu and a message saying that there are
some updates. Then when you click on the icon, the update installer will
pop up and show the update files. Among the update files will be Euphoria
and wxEuphoria. Then you will click on 'install' and it will download
them and install them. All it will require will be 2 mouse clicks and
1 password and 1 mouse click.
