Ok but generally difference between foo and foo-devel is the fact that
later include all you need 
to developp (include and static libs).
And this is my case, I want to developp with wxwidgets and not only run
precompiled application linked with wxwidgets
so does your message is still valid ?
If I install wxwidgets, will I be able to developp some wxwidgets app ?
