If you can live with Wx-0.26, you can try my tool (see signature) - it builds
Wx-0.26 among other targets. Wx-0.26 is built on top of wxwidgets 2.6.3, which
are built on top of gtk+-2.8.20, etc.
The tool does not require root permission and builds and intalls everything
locally, so it won't screw up anything in your system.
