Building wxPython-4.0.4 on Mint 19.1 64 bit

I have successfully built wxPython-4.0.4 on the Raspberry Pi and Mint 19.1 
32 bit but I am running into an error when I build on Mint 19.1 64 bit.

I am building using python 3.7.2 built form source

Building waf:

# waf 2.0.8 (abi 20, python 30702f0 on linux)
# using /home/eric/Dev/wxPython-4.0.4/bin/waf-2.0.8 --verbose 
--wx_config=/home/eric/Dev/wxPython-4.0.4/build/wxbld/gtk3/wx-config 
--verbose --jobs=4 --gtk3 --python=/home/eric/p37/bin/python3 --out=bui\
ld/waf/3.7/gtk3 configure build

I get the following error shown in config.log

If I try to build using the python 3.6 as supplied in the distribution I 
get the following error building waf:

Will build using: "/home/eric/p36/bin/python3"
3.6.7 (default, Oct 22 2018, 11:32:17)
[GCC 8.2.0]
Python's architecture is 64bit
cfg.VERSION: 4.0.4

I have verified my package list Mint 19.1 64 bit is the the save as Mint 
19.1 32 bit.  I also verified I have the same python packages installed on 
both versions.  Everything in requirements.txt loads successfully

Have I overlooked something simple?  Should I install the libraries and 
build a 32 bit version instead?

Thank you,

Eric Nystrom
