You need the -dev RPM to compile wxPerl; it contains the wx-config,
and most important the headers

You can also disable XRC ( comment it out in Makefile.PL ); unless, of course,
you need XRC

I think it is corrected in CVS, will check

I'm sorry for your wasted time. I'll test if CVS compiles with 2.3.2
