Did you check what you downloaded?  Sourceforge download links go to an
HTML page which offers downloads from mirrors around the world, so if
you downloaded with shift-click or similar you probably just downloaded
that page.  Load it into an editor and see if it's HTML...

The library files are libwx_gtk<something>, so that wouldn't find them.
This would, if they're installed:

find / -name '*wx_gtk*'

Dunno - sounds like the RPMs you have are suspect.  Try the official
ones linked to from the survex site.

You will need the -devel RPM too though, as you need to build from
the Survex source RPM (essentially because the RPM using Linux vendors
aren't capable of agreeing which C++ compiler version to use by default).
