Thanks Brian... I am able to build gr-wxgui now. It turned out to be due
to some conflict between installed versions of python-wxgtk i.e 2.8
and 2.6.
I needed to uninstall 2.6 for the configure script to recognise 2.8.
Also, it seems that the prebuilt version of gnuradio was depending on
this (2.6) package and when I removed 2.6, the synaptic installed
gnuradio also got removed. Maybe this needs to be added to the wiki..

Thanks,
Warm Regards,
Harith
