Audacity on AntiX
 

I've been running AntiX on a Dell Latitude C600, and would like to install Audacity,but AntiX opos up a dialog saying it needs the latest wxWidgets packacge. It then says it is not going to installthe packaged version and so Audacity won't install.what to do?

Hi there, can you please copy & paste the following commands into the terminal, then cut & paste the output here? This will give us detailed error messages to assist with your problem.

Here's the paste I get running those commands:

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

root@davey:/home/dave# apt-get update && apt-get install audacity

Hmmm... interesting. Have you recently updated your system? If not:

If you're still getting errors, maybe you could post your software sources?

There is a warning on the AntiX website that might be relevant, see the Feb. 15 2009 new item: http://antix.mepis.org/index.php/Main_Page

Ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade plus apt-get install -f, and it finally worked!
