Regardless of which compile variables I use, the compile fails.

Here is my environment.

First of all, you're posting to a wrong list: this one is for
non-technical discussions and is not very active. You should post questions
such as this one to wx-users.

Second, why do you use --with-gtk=1? GTK+ 1 is thoroughly obsolete
nowadays so unless you have some very specific reasons to use it, you
shouldn't use it.

Third and finally I really have nothing to add to the wonderfully detailed
error message above. You should really follow its instructions.
