Yes.

FWIW, my /usr/lib/wx/config directory contains the following files:

	gtk2-ansi-release-2.6
	gtk2-unicode-release-2.6
	gtk2-unicode-release-2.8

I suspect that you haven't installed all of the necessary packages. 
AFAICT, you need at least the following packages:

	libwxbase2.8-0
	libwxbase2.8-dev
	libwxgtk2.8-0
	libwxgtk2.8-dev
	wx-common
	wx2.8-headers
