Marco,

Maybe we've already answered this, but if not, I'll give it a go.

For the GUI to work, you don't need to enable either of these. They  
are only for compiling the in-development wxPython digitizer, vdigit.  
All the rest of the GUI will work without this, since the wxPython  
part are just ASCII python script files that get copied from source to  
$GISBASE/etc/wxpython.

Just install the prebuilt binaries for Python AND for wxPython. They  
are from different sites. No need to compile either.

The binaries for the main wxPython package for Windows is at <http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.7.1-py25.exe

If you also want the wxPython dev package for Windows, get them at <http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-win32-devel-2.8.7.1.tar.bz2 
 >.

I hope this clarifies things.
