This was good advice. wxGTK is now built and installed on YellowDogLinux 2.0
I had made an attempt to install glib 1.3.1 and gtk 1.3.1. These landed in
glib-2.0 and gtk-2.0 respectively. I'm not sure why, I would have thought
the suffix would be 1.3.1.
Whatever! I moved them out of /usr/lib and into an archive (just in case) I
also had to move /usr/bin/gtk-config-2.0 and /usr/bin/glib-config-2.0.
./configure now reports that the gtk-config-2.0 script could not be found,
and it reports GTK-version twice, once as >=1.2.7 and again as >=1.2.3
(cached?)
Why both?
Whatever! It worked. wxGTK-2.3.1 is now installed. I''m not done yet.
wxPython awaits! (see next message from pac1.)
checking for gtk-config-2.0... no
checking for GTK - version >= 1.3.1... no
*** The gtk-config-2.0 script installed by GTK could not be found
*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in

checking for gtk-config... /usr/bin/gtk-config
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.7... yes
checking for gtk-config... (cached) /usr/bin/gtk-config
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.3... yes
