follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
please send a bug report to one of our mailing list, INCLUDING
WAS REPORTED. I know this has no effect, but I tried...
The library produced by the install process will be called
-libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.1.so.14.0.0 (shared) so
+libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.2.so.0.0.0 (shared) so
