Survex 1.2.17 fails to compile on Fedora 21

[Bill Gee]

Hi Olly -

I actually have TWO versions of wxGTK installed.  I had only version 2.8 as 
that is required by Therion.  Survex complained about that (and proj as well), 
so I installed wxGTK3.  

Perhaps I need to remove wxGTK2.8??  Will Therion compile with version 3?

I will give a try with your new git patch.

Thanks - Bill Gee
