I bring that thread back from the dead, for I have almost the same problem, which won't let me compile wxGTK 2.6, downloaded from
http://www.wxwidgets.org/ :
./configure
... (lots of stuff going fine)
checking for strcasecmp() in string.h... no
checking for strcasecmp() in strings.h... no
configure: error: No case-insensitive string comparison function found.I'm supposed to have uninstalled everything from my OS containing "wx" inside, which was versions 2.4 2.5 and 2.6, all mdk/plf mandrake-adapated packages, for my Mandriva 2005 LE.
But maybe, me too, I have traces of the older versions... Could someone tell me what your "traces" of older wx versions might look like, so that I can know what to search ? ^^
