configure suspends

Hello,
I am trying to compile wxPython on RH7.3.
I have a problem configuring wxWidgets - the first step from the build howto.

The command is
wxPython-src.2.6.1.0/bld >
../configure --prefix=/home/ionsim/prog/wx/2.6 \
              --disable-gtk2 \
              --with-gtk1 \
              --enable-debug \
              --enable-geometry \
              --enable-display \
              --disable-debugreport

...
checking GL/gl.h usability... yes
checking GL/gl.h presence... yes
checking for GL/gl.h... yes
checking for -lGL... yes
checking for -lGLU... yes
checking if the linker accepts --version-script...
[and we are suspended]

The problem occurss when I use the cvs version or wxPython-src.2.6.1.0.tar.gz file. Configure works with 2.6.0.0 or 2.5.5.1, but then I have a problem with wxPython/setup.py so I'd like to try newer versions.

Can I skip this test or do it manually and set the result?

Thank you for reply
Wojtek
