./configure leads to:

Anybody know what I'm missing?

Thanks!

Nobody can help me out here?

All I really need to do is clip off some of the beginning and end of some WAV audio files before I burn them to a CD. Audacity sounded like a useful audio editing tool (and it requires the software I'm having trouble with), but if I can't work this out can anyone suggest another tool for editing audio?

Thanks!

ps....

here is the end of the config.log file for wxwidgets....
