tex2rtf is built against a release version of wxWidgets.  Jazz++ is 
built against a debug version.  From the log, when tex2rtf is run it is 
finding the debug build of wxWidgets as indicated by...

The library used 2.8 (debug,ANSI,compiler with C++ ABI 1002,STL containers)

but tex2rtf want a release version as indicated by...

and your program used 2.8 (no debug,ANSI,compiler with C++ ABI 1002,STL 
containers)

where "your program" is tex2rtf.  Note the "no debug" in the second entry.

DM>> but then, going by his log, the jazz build -did-

No it did not.  The jazz build didn't compile any single file.  The 
first step is building help, and that failed.  No Jazz++ files were even 
compiled in the build log.

If Kevin followed the build instructions, Jazz++ doesn't build against 
the release version of wxWidgets, but the debug version.

KC> I built only the "release", not the "debug".

Then you are not following the wxWidgets build instructions on the web 
site.  The web site has you build both a release (for tex2rtf) and a 
debug version (for jazz) of wxWidgets.  The old instructions only had 
you build a debug version.

The Jazz++ build instructions have always used the debug build of 
wxWidgets.  This is specified in the configure line...

../jazz/configure \
   --prefix=/usr/local/Jazz++ \
   --enable-debug \
   --enable-alsa \
   --enable-sequencer2

with --enable-debug.  This triggers the use of the debug version of the 
wxWidgets build.

KC> What's the debug for anyway?  It seemed unused to me.

This allows you to use gdb to get a back trace if Jazz++ crashes while 
you are using it.
