config.log shows failure in sanity check for wxGTK on Fedora platform
Hello
I have recently installed fedora core 9 on a new laptop. This is to replace a system running Fedora core 5. Since I am a software developer I had variety of tools/software installed and running on that platform. In addition I wrote applications using the older platform. I say all this because I am trying to explain that we are currently migrating to the newer releases but can't until we get existing tools/apps migrated to the newer release. Legacy issues keep us from grabbing the latest releases of all the tools. Anyway the last tool that I am struggling with is wxWidgets. The release that was used to develope our previous apps is wxGTK 2.8.0. I am currently trying to build and install but have had some compatability issues. Examination of the config.log seems to point to a compatability issue with the C++ compiler. Anyway maybe I am way off base but the issue I am concentrating on is the compiler. After two solid days of effort I am requesting some assistance with this issue. My guess is that I am missing something obvious. So any help, hints or suggestions on resolving the issue would be greatly appreciated.

Gcc 4.3.1 is VERY strict , and dose not tolerate "unconventional "code syntax
see the gcc site for more info on getting the code to conform to the "standards"
also make sure ALL and EVERY *.h file you need is listed
#include<(every one you need).h>
