Bug #76599 for Wx: Installation failure: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwx_gtk2u_media-2.8

I have Wx 0.9905 installed on a perlbrew'ed 5.14.2 Attempting to upgrade to 0.9906 fails to compile because it's missing a library: LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/lib:/home/rando/perl5/perlbrew/perls/5.14.2-st/lib/site_perl/5.14.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Alien/wxWidgets/gtk_2_8_12 _uni/lib" g++ -shared -fPIC -shared -O2 -L/home/rando/perl5/perlbrew/perls/5.14.2-st/lib/5.14.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE -L/usr/l ocal/lib -fstack-protector Media.o -o ../../blib/arch/auto/Wx/Media/Media.so \ -L/home/rando/perl5/perlbrew/perls/5.14.2-st/lib/site_perl/5.14.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Alien/wxWidgets/gtk_2_8_12_uni/lib -lpthread -lwx_gtk2u_media-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_core-2.8 -lwx_baseu-2.8 \ /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwx_gtk2u_media-2.8 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [../../blib/arch/auto/Wx/Media/Media.so] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/rando/.cpan/build/Wx-0.9906-M8FeyH/ext/media' make[1]: *** [subdirs] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/rando/.cpan/build/Wx-0.9906-M8FeyH/ext' make: *** [subdirs] Error 2 (/usr/bin/make exited with 512) I checked Alien::wxWidgets but it was already the latest version. Manually reinstalling didn't help. I searched around in aptitude and found and installed libwxgtk2.8-dev (which included wx2.8-headers and libwxbase2.8-dev) which seemed to do the trick. The only other thing I can think to note is that I did upgrade my ubuntu from 11.04 to 11.10 recently (after Wx 0.9905 was installed), so I don't know if that might have affected what packages were installed.
