+you have downloaded version 2.4 of the GTK port of the 
+wxWindows GUI library.
+
+wxWindows no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early
+snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
+GTK 1.2.6 or above is recommended although some programs 
+will work with GTK 1.2.3 onwards. There is now support
+for GTK 2.0.

+In order to use wxGTK with GTK 2.0 and its unicode
+support, you need to configure
 
-To start the samples, change into the directory that

+etc.
 
-./samples/minimal/linux-gnu/minimal
+So far, support for GTK 2.0 has only been tested on
