The wx libraries are added to the linker flags by using the output from
wx-config.  The configure script seems to have found your wx-config
binary, but for some reason the output isn't working.  What does
`wx-config --static --libs` produce on your system?  What about
`wx-config --libs`?  Try dropping the --enable-static flag to configure
and see what happens.

Don't apply Raphael's patch.  Follow the directions on the pgadmin.org
web site to checkout the sources and run the boostrap script to generate
the configure script.

For now, try not using --enable-static.
