I read the readme which states that wxWidgets must be installed for this version. I downloaded and installed it from source with no issues, wxWidgets-2.9.4. The output of ./configure for Audacity is below:

configure: error: Unable to locate a suitable configuration of wxWidgets v2.8.x or higher.
The currently available configurations are listed below. If necessary, either
install the package for your distribution or download the latest version of
wxWidgets
from http://wxwidgets.org.
Default config is gtk2-unicode-2.9
Default config will be used for output
Can someone point me in the right direction as to what I’m doing wrong.
Thanks
