Trying to follow the instructions in INSTALL.txt. I get up to the patch 
and when I try to execute that, I get the following error message:

can't find file to patch at input line 5
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------------------------------
Index:configure
=============================================
- - - configure (revision 72192)
+ + + configure (working copy)
---------------------------------------------------

Its certainly plausible that I'm located in the wrong directory. The 
instruction "place the file in the wxPython directory" is a little 
inscrutable since I didn't know off the bat exactly where that is. 
However, /usr/include/wx-2.8 certainly seems to contain all the relevant 
files addressed by the patch. What am I missing?

Thanks for pointing out the outdated reference. Here is where the source 
code is:

https://github.com/BruceSherwood/vpython-wx

Steve Spicklemire is doing terrific work on simplifying building on all 
platforms, including Linux. For the moment, read the file INSTALL.txt. We 
have no Linux "target", but as it happens Steve and I have been doing our 
testing on Ubuntu. Don't hesitate to ask for clarification if you run into 
difficulties.

the website directs me to https://github.com/vpython/visual/ but this
repository has not been updated since August, and no other branches
exist.

where is the development for VPython 6 happening?

...i would like to get a Linux build running for an in-house demo this
Thursday, so any notes appreciated.  note: i don't need a full-blown
installable pip package or anything, just the code and any pertinent
info related to the build :)

for what it's worth, this is fantastic work! i've been "patiently"
anticipating a Linux package, but i've no problem at all handling that
part myself (im on Arch anyway... i expect Ubuntu or something is the
focused target)

thanks!
