Not trying to be a fly in the ointment, but I have Ubuntu
and tried to 
install wxWidgets 2.8.3 on it and the configuration aborted
with the 
message it could not find a C compiler (gcc was found for
c++).  I have 
not had time to trouble shoot the problem.  Both Ubuntu and
wxWidgets 
where done 'straight out of the box' with normal selection
of install 
options and configurations.

Hi!

Might I offer a fly swatter? Ubuntu only comes with the
libraries and build 
tools for basic C compilation and building. To get the
others, simply open 
Synaptic Package Manager, and perform a Search for the
following:

cpp
    make sure you have cpp installed

g++
    make sure you have g++ installed and the libg++'s for
development

gtk2
    make sure you have the basic libgtk2's for development
installed

For any of the above, you may opt to also install the
documentation and any 
supporting libs/tools for other work you may be doing.

Even though gcc for C++ was found, that is a recognition
switch in gcc itself 
for when it is called as g++. That doesn't mean you have
everything you need for 
C++ development (i.e., the above mentioned g++ packages).

If you don't install gtk2, you'll get errors when you get to
building in DB.

With all of these in place, and the proper compiler
(Standard GCC) Configured in 
DB, you'll be able to build wxWidgets ANSI and UniCode
libraries from DB with no 
problem. At least, it worked for me!;)

HTH:

 
thx,
