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.
