I don't want to spoil your day, but on the wxWindows mailing list they
were discussing an error in the configure scripts: it requires only gtk
1.2.1 but some code it uses can actually only be found in the more recent
editions of gtk. I am not sure this will cure your problems... Just say
to yourself: upgrading gtk is fun, upgrading gtk is fun and maybe you
have a good time at it :-)
