I haven't used Ubuntu, but it sounds like there is some binary incompatibility
going on, and the .so may need to be recompiled locally.  This basically 
boils down to getting the wxWidgets (v2.4.2) source, doing (see the 
install.txt that comes with the source for more details):

$ ./configure --with-gtk

...apply my patches, and...

$ make

...then copy the libwxgtk_2.4.so.0.0.1 (or whatever the actual file name is)
to /usr/lib/wxeu.so

And make sure you have a fair amount of spare time.  You may also need to 
install dome dev packages for things like gtk in order to build the library.
If you're able to get this to work, I'd be interested in posting a copy of
your binary so that other people with similar problems could use it.

Let me know if you have any questions.
