I've not been able to run survex on my Mac since I upgraded to  
Leopard. The aven window comes up but won't get focus. I've just tried  
to install from the source code but get the following error

I've got Xtools installed which should include wxgtk and I've upgraded  
to the latest version which for wxgtk I believe is 2.8.4.
Any guidance you could give me would be appreciated.
