I have not found a SuSE wxGTK-xrc RPM but I did look at the fedora RPM 
and then installed it since it looked like it would not harm my SuSE 
system.  But the wxrc executable was not in that RPM.  Only two 
library files which are:

/usr/lib/libwx_gtk_xrc-2.4.so.0
/usr/lib/libwx_gtk_xrc-2.4.so.0.1.1

So this RPM does not install wxrc.  By the way none of the SuSE wxGTK* 
RPMs have the above library files.  And I have asked on several SuSE 
forums about where to get wxrc and no one knows.   

So I did some more looking at the wxGTK source code directories and 
discovered that some of them were owned by root.  Since this was 
un-tared by a non-root id then this must have been a problem with the 
tar file.  I changed ownership of the whole source tree to my id and 
re-ran configure, make and make install (using root).  This did not 
install wxrc but in the contrib/utils/wxrc directory it did build the 
wxrc executable.  So I copied this to /usr/bin.

I now have Hugin installed and it appears to run OK - although I have 
not done anything but basic tests.
