I haven't looked at the latest version of wxUniversal, but since:

1. On Linux, it emulates GTK
2. Almost all Linux boxes include the GTK library

it seemed a bit pointless to use wxUniversal, especially since it was sti=
ll=20
beta. Now, if it had the cool KDE file dialog, I'd switch to it in a=20
heartbeat. The GTK file dialog is pretty awful, and the rewrite won't be=20
ready until next September.

A small 'gotcha' I ran into when compiling the static version was that if=
 you=20
use certain libraries, you have to specifically note them as static:

  ./configure --with-gtk --with-opengl --disable-shared --enable-static
  --with-libjpeg_builtin --with-libpng_builtin --with-regex_builtin
  --with-libtiff_builtin --with-libzlib_builtin

I haven't had a chance to recompile my library yet to see if this takes c=
are=20
of all the dependancies.

Also, I'd suggest getting a hold of a Knoppix CD. Because it boots and ru=
ns=20
from CD, it's quite useful for checking dependancies.
