http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxGTK-2.4.2-1.i386.rpm

Try this one.  I downloaded the Scorched3d file from their site along
with the RPM above and it works fine.

Simple. Remember how under Windows the software is so bloated and you end up with like 50 copies of the same DLL file on your computer because each software package you installed brought along it's own copy?

So the idea is to put stuff like that in seperate packages. That way if app1, app2, and app3 all need lib123 you don't end up with 3 copies of it on your system.
