Linux configure abort problem; also dynamic wx build?

[ntrel]

Hi,
I'm trying to compile codeblocks-1.0rc2 on Fedora Core 3.
After running:
dos2unix bootstrap
chmod u+x bootstrap
./bootstrap
./configure

configure fails with the following lines:

checking for wx-config... /usr/bin/wx-config
checking for wxWindows version >= 2.4.2... yes (version 2.4.2)
configure: Configuring Code::Blocks...
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
.infig.status: error: cannot find input file: Makefile
[nmt@nmt-pc codeblocks-1.0rc2]$

This is the same error as this post:
http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=2086.msg16367#msg16367

I have read on the forum that wxWidgets 2.6 static build is required - I have a dynamic build of wxGTK2.6 - is it possible to use this? I have tried overriding the wx-config and binary path to wxGTK2.6 but configure still bails out with .infig.status: error: cannot find input file: Makefile.

Thanks.
P.S. Please could Code::Blocks 1.0 distribute a working configure script so that users don't need to use autotools.
