Compiling Erlang OTPR13B04 with wx support on Ubuntu Lucid

Erlang R13B04 compiles and installs fairly easily on Ubuntu Lucid. The only tricky bit was installing wx dependencies. Here's how -

Make sure you do this first even before running configure -

sudo apt-get install wx2.8-dev freeglut3-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev

There is some problem with caching so if you have run ./configure before you have installed these dependencies, things will break with weird error messages. In such cases it is better to delete the otp_src_r13b04 directory completely and untar it from the tarball again.
