install problem: WX Failed loading "wxe_driver", Ubuntu 18.04

[Bram]

I am completely flabbergasted how this could have solved it for OP.

I have the same error:

{load_driver,"libwx_gtk2u_stc-3.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"}

And I have the wxgtk3 package installed, but that package has gtk3u entries only, not a single gtk2u one:

Code:

$ dpkg -S libwx_gtk

As a matter of fact, Ubuntu repo comes up with zero hits on libwx_gtk2u so how could this have solved the missing lib?
