What I did when I started building wxPython from source was turn off 
all the extensions by setting their BUILD_XXX value to 0 in setup.py 
(except for STC, which is needed for demo.py now) and then once that 
was building OK I went back and added the contribs back in by setting 
them to 1.

Also, did you run a plain vanilla build of wxWindows? That is, did you 
simply call ./configure with no arguments? Adding --with-opengl will 
tell wxWindows to build the OpenGL library, which it doesn't do by 
default.

Thanks!
