cannot find wx-config when ./configure

I followed the wiki to install codeblocks, the URL of which is:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Linux

I use Ubuntu 10.04, the kernel is 2.6.32-21. I'd like to install codeblocks 13.12
I've install the wxWidget 2.8.12 successfully, also modefied the PATH and ls.so.conf. And I excuted wx-config --xx，it can also give right result.

But when I excuted ./configure in codesblocks' folder, the error occured:

checking for wx-config... no
configure: error:
                wxWidgets must be installed on your system.

                Please check that wx-config is in path, the directory
                where wxWidgets libraries are installed (returned by
                'wx-config --libs' or 'wx-config --static --libs' command)
                is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent variable and
                wxWindows version is 2.8.0 or above.

How can I fix it ?

Thank you very much !

Isn't there a ready made package for this distro?

I have only found the 16.01 for ubuntu 14.04 and above. It seems that there is no 13.12 for ubuntu 10.04.

Did you do the CB Bootstrap command?

And, please post the output of the wx-config --list command?

Oh, I've found something strange.
I installed the wxWidget in my user(which is "luxr"), and when I excute wx-config, it can be found. like this:

luxr@zhuwh-desktop:~/Desktop/codeblocks-13.12$ wx-config --libs
-L/opt/wx/2.8/lib -pthread   -lwx_gtk2u-2.8

However, when I excute wx-config in root, it can't be found!

root@zhuwh-desktop:~/Desktop/codeblocks-13.12# wx-config --libs
The program 'wx-config' can be found in the following packages:
 * libwxbase2.6-dbg
 * libwxbase2.6-dev
 * libwxbase2.8-dbg
 * libwxbase2.8-dev
 * libwxgtk2.6-dbg
 * libwxgtk2.6-dev
 * libwxgtk2.8-dbg
 * libwxgtk2.8-dev
Try: apt-get install <selected package>

Maybe that's why I cannot do ./configure, because I have to use the "sudo" command. Is there any mathod to solve the problem?

Next is the output of ./bootstrap:
root@zhuwh-desktop:~/Desktop/codeblocks-13.12# ./bootstrap
