The fact that the wxWidgets libraries are in /usr/lib/wxPython
suggests that they're provided solely for use by wxPython. The binary
wxPython modules probably have the path to the wxWidgets libraries
embedded into them.

It's possible that the distribution has a separate wxWidgets package
(although I doubt that GRASS' configure will handle this; we assume
that the same settings are used both for wxPython and wxWidgets).

FWIW, Gentoo puts the wxWidgets libraries in /usr/lib.
