You should probably check the appropriate mailing list archives and
other resources for wxGTK - it really isn't anything to do with Python
as such.

Some hints: check config.log for more details of the error, try
passing -v to configure to get verbose reporting of what it is doing,
check the configure script itself at the point of failure. I have done
various things with autoconf and Bourne shell scripts recently and I
wouldn't be that surprised if the line with the "test" on it was
either badly formed or used an environment variable which isn't
defined.

Start at http://www.wxwindows.org and follow the links to wxGTK,
perhaps. There's also an active wxPython mailing list which is found
from http://www.wxpython.org, of course.
