It took me a while to figure out where to get the wx_gtk2ud-2.9 library needed to compile bitcoind, so I thought I'd share for anybody else who's not a wxWidgets expert:

Code:
If you want to build bitcoind, the no-gui bitcoin daemon, you need the wxWidgets 'base' library.
After untarring the wxWidgets source:

cd /usr/local/wxWidgets-2.9.0
mkdir buildbase
cd buildbase
../configure --disable-gui --enable-debug --disable-shared --enable-monolithic
make
sudo su
make install
ldconfig

I'd humbly suggest adding the above to the build-unix.txt file...  Satoshi, is there a preferred way to submit patches?

27 Aug 2010:  This is no longer necessary-- bitcoind doesn't require wxwidgets at all any more.
