Frank,

In situations like this I have had some luck writing a shell script as a 
shim between the program being chain loaded and the caller. In this case 
that would be a shell script named "wx-config" and in that script you 
can print out the command line arguments to it or write them to disk. 
Then come back later and run your real wx-config with the same arguments 
and see what is produced and guess what is not acceptable to the caller.

As a plan B, some linux distros have a "debug" version of the wxwidgets 
packages already built. So after doing what you are trying to do and 
succeeding, I have since reverted back to using a prebuilt debug wx 
package . But in all cases I was using the unicode libraries.

HTH,

Dick
