[Solved] Survex 1.2.17 fails to compile on Fedora 21

[Bill Gee]

Hi Olly -

WooHoo!  That did the trick.  I had discovered that each version of wxGTK has 
its own config program, but I got tied up with other things before I figured out 
how to specify them in the configure program.

Survex now compiles and installs without error.  

Thanks!

Bill Gee
