Double check the wxWidgets build and install steps.  It should have used 
your {prefix}/lib path for the wxMac lib but it fell back to the one 
distributed by Apple in /usr/lib instead.  Hmm...  You didn't use 
--enable-monolithic in your configure step, that's probably the problem.

Note that the path to the dylib is embedded in the extension module .so 
so even when you get this working at your install locations there will 
still be issues with having something self contained that can be zipped 
up and unzipped elsewhere.  To work around that you're either going to 
have to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH or you can use install_name_tool to change 
the embedded path name.  You can make that embedded name be relative to 
the executable or the image loading the dylib (the .so extension modules 
in this case) by using "@executable_path" or "@loader_path" in the path 
name.
