I can't use the supplied wxeu.so on my coLinux Debian box, and have to
build separately, so I know his pain.  I don't know why this doesn't 
work.  On Linux it shouldn't be too difficult to rebuild from source.
You need the wxWidgets 2.4.2 source, then apply the patches.  From
the base directory where you unpacked the source:

$ ./configure --with-gtk
$ make

There will be a .so in the lib/ directory (something like libwxgtk24.so).
That needs to be copied to /usr/lib/wxeu.so.
