Running configure --with-wx-version=2.6 succeeds and then bails out during
the build process. If pgadmin requires 2.8 it should enforce that at
configure time.

Agreed - configure check committed to SVN.

Thanks for the report.

That broke build process (you couldn't even force specific version) on
Ubuntu Fiesty (and possibly Debian), as one can have more than one
wx-widgets version installed and default wouldn't be necessary the best
one.

In fact, Ubuntu Fiesty defaults to 2.6.x, and so the check used
in ./configure (wx-config --version) gives 2.6.3, where
(wx-config --version=2.8 --version) gives 2.8.1.

So I created really ugly patch (as am really I not into shell scripting, nor
m4 macros), to fix it, but it might not work with non-debian wx-config
versions, so please doublecheck/improve (strongly recommended ! :-).

Well, in fact all major-minor version checking magic might be probably
thrown away, as we are asking wx-config for specific versions anyway.

Ugly (but works-for-me) patch attached.

Whoops. Sorry. I've committed a fix for this - please test. It helps
that you can do:

wx-config --version --version=2.8

which will return the full version number for the 2.8 installation.

Thanks, Dave.
