So when I wanted to install Wings3D onto my ubuntu 13.04 (Raring), it had an error because of a missing package erlang-wx. I searched around the web on the error. Eventually, I checked a list of dependencies on the website
http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/wings3d and checked for that software on Ubuntu software Center.
Either Ubuntu has to restore erlang-wx or Wings3D get an alternative dependency. Otherwise it is a broken app.

By the note in the Ubuntu's
bug report (on 2009:
"currently, erlang has a build-dependency on wxwidgets2.8. it should definately not b-d on wxwidgets."), I don't think Ubuntu will restore it.
It should be a problem for all
Erlang programs (that is not specific to Wings3D).
Anyway, if you were not able to make it work, you may consider to try
this workaround for Ubuntu 12.04 (follow the link in that thread).
I hope the Erlang team are looking for some solution for that.
