Hi Glynn, Thanks for the advice, it was partially successful. I was indeed missing the wx-gtk2 dev package (I had the wx-base dev package, so as a lesson to others, be very careful when searching through the ubuntu package repository!), and this allowed the NVIS compile error to resolve itself. I am still getting compile erros for "...gui/wxpython/vdigit", albeit a different error than I was getting before. Here is the text of the error:<br>

A web search hs yielded plenty of "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -xxxxx" , but none for "-lgdi". Most of the solutions to similar errors were of the "you need to install xxxx package" variety. Unfortuntately, none of these solutions were for a missing -lgdi nor were they even specific to GRASS... Thanks again in advance for any help you or others may offer to me.<br>

<br>
</div>FWIW, my /usr/lib/wx/config directory contains the following files:<br>
<br>
gtk2-ansi-release-2.6<br>
gtk2-unicode-release-2.6<br>
gtk2-unicode-release-2.8<br>
<br>
I suspect that you haven't installed all of the necessary packages.<br>
AFAICT, you need at least the following packages:<br>
<br>
libwxbase2.8-0<br>
libwxbase2.8-dev<br>
libwxgtk2.8-0<br>
libwxgtk2.8-dev<br>
wx-common<br>
wx2.8-headers<br>
