Actually, speaking as the former maintainer for compat-wxGTK-2.4*... I
would really advise against it. In the wx space, this ancient piece of
unmaintained junk conflicts heavily with the later wxGTK releases, to
the point where you cannot effectively have the 2.4 compat package and
any later wx packages on a system at the same time without both sets of
wx dependent applications either failing to work entirely or randomly
crashing.

Tell upstream for this proprietary bomb that 2003 has long since moved
on, and they should port to either a more modern version of wx, or a
different toolkit.
