trying to run the simple case installation script from
the "wxWidgets for GTK installation" page.

	$ mkdir buildgtk
	$ cd buildgtk
	$ ../configure --with-gtk
	$ make
	$ sudo make install
	$ sudo ldconfig

The ../configure command mostly worked, however, it did produce several 
fatal errors (see examples below). Opening data:

	This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
	running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

	It was created by wxWidgets configure 3.2.9, which was
	generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.  Invocation command line was

	  $ ../configure --with-gtk

	## --------- ##
	## Platform. ##
	## --------- ##

	hostname = ken-Inspiron-518
	uname -m = x86_64
	uname -r = 6.14.0-37-generic
	uname -s = Linux
	uname -v = #37~24.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Nov 20 10:25:38 UTC 2
Fatal error 1:    

     configure:13468: gcc -V >&5
     gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option '-V'
     gcc: fatal error: no input files
     compilation terminated.
     configure:13479: $? = 1

Fatal error 2:

     configure:13468: gcc -qversion >&5
     gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option '-qversion'; did you 
mean '--version'?
     gcc: fatal error: no input files
     compilation terminated.
     configure:13479: $? = 1

Fatal error 3:

     configure:14621: gcc -E  conftest.c
     conftest.c:10:10: fatal error: ac_nonexistent.h: No such file or 
directory
        10 | #include <ac_nonexistent.h>
           |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     compilation terminated.
     configure:14621: $? = 1

There are several other examples but I want to limit the size of this email.

I would appreciate any advice you can give.

Thanks,
Ken Turner
