the problem is that you should have wxpresets installed in your bakefile folder.
That is, you should have wx.bkl, wx_unix.bkl and wx_win32.bkl in

    ~/lib/bakefile-0.1.9.1/presets

Wehn installing wxWidgets, since version 2.6.1, it copies the wxpresets in

    $prefix/share/bakefile/presets

which usually is the folder where bakefile is installed.
If you use bakefile from a local folder like ~/lib/bakefile-0.1.9.1, then you need to 
manually copy the wxpresets in its presets folder.

In any case I strongly suggest you to
1) run "make install" in bakefile folder so that you have it installed system-wide
2) copy in /usr/local/share/bakefile/presets the very latest wxpresets taken from 
wxWidgets CVS as they fix some bugs from previous versions.
