10:36:10: Warning: Mismatch between the program and library build versions detected.
The library used 3.0 (wchar_t,compiler with C++ ABI 1013,wx containers,compatible with 2.8),
and your program used 3.0 (wchar_t,compiler with C++ ABI 1014,wx containers,compatible with 2.8).
The library used 3.0, my program uses 3.0 !!!
Been banging my head against this for more than a week, can anyone point me in the right direction?
Could this difference be the reason?
Probably, but I have recompiled everything, tried third party repos and failed 
Do you have more than one version of wxwidgets installed?
In Arch I find
## wxlua 3.0.0.9-2
## wxlua-git 1:3.0.0.8.r22
I have wxgtk2 & 3 installed as dependencies for other programs:
yyl wxwidget
1 extra/wxgtk2 3.0.5.1-1 [installed]
2 extra/wxgtk3 3.0.5.1-1 [installed]
7 alerque/wxlua 3.0.0.9-2 [installed]
yyl is an alias.
The link is old but the issue is similar.
What does the package do? If it is a weather display, I have an example conky with weather (including graphics) that is lua-free 
wxLua is a gui framework. I hate python, I have always hated python and I hate myself for forcing myself to use it 
I think the error above is meaningless, I think the example I am trying to run is broken 
It used to run…
This example runs with the same error warning:
No particular usage case then? I thought the ‘wx’ referred to weather!
Not a fan of Python either - I kept trying it, and getting not very far with it. A description sounds like it should be useful, but I’d rather use Bacon
