Have you made sure your libs and includes are on your path
(CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH)? When I build I used wxPython
3.0.2.0, and my paths look like this:

   export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=$CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH:$wxPythonPath/wxPython/include
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$wxLibs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Where $wxPythonPath is the root dir of wxPython's source and $wxLibs is
the lib subdirectory of the wxPython build directory.

This process is documented here, but I've never tried on Fedora. I don't
see why it shouldn't be much the same:

I don't recall installing any thing particularly for GAL happiness, but
looking at the way I built KiCad, it might be one of:

libgl1-mesa-dev libglew-dev libcairo2-dev libwebkitgtk-dev 

These are Debian packages, but they are similar for Fedora.
