Are you sure you recompiled _all_ pgadmin files - if you just run configure
and specify a different wx-config, the build system doesn't realize it
has to rebuild everything. I had some unresolved symbols when switching
from wx 2.5.4 to 2.5.5, and they went away after doing "make clean; make"

Be sure to include fix by "Stefan Csomor":
---------------
as I don't have a buildable situation for pgadmin on my system, could
you please try out whether adding

DoSetWindowVariant( m_windowVariant) ;

in toplevel.cpp line 1204 , just in front of the m_macFocus = NULL ;

Well, pgadmin needs to know how to start and stop postgres -
on osx - so we at least need to know the "servicename".
Of course this can be made configureable - but if there
was a "official way" for these things on osx, we could
save some config options.

Kind of... see my other post in this thread - we'd need a way to remeber
the connection this sql was used in, or a way for the use to specify that.

See my other mail in this thread.

Have you checked wether you actually got ssl support - I can link
against a ssl-enabled libpq just fine - but the pgadmin configure
doesn't detect the ssl-support, and disabled ssl-support for pgadmin.
