Looks like several things are likely. RedHat 9 is likely to have shipped with
versions of the autotools that are too old. The last two lines in your
output indicate an autoconf that's too old. I don't recall the minimum
versions right offhand, anybody else know?
Check to see that you installed the wxWindows-devel package, if it's
available. Check /usr/include and /usr/local/include for "wx". Or try
"wx-config" from the command line.

Ummmm, upgrade? ;) To anything that's not RedHat? ;) Seriously, if you
can, upgrading to a newer distribution will help you a lot. The 2.6 kernel
has ALSA in it, so you don't even have to ask anymore "Do I have ALSA? Do I
need it?" And the newer versions of hte autotools, all there. At least,
Mandrake 10.1's got it all. Up to you, of course.
