You probably want wxpython binding instead - http://www.wxpython.org/
Use binaries provided by Mandriva's package manager where possible
unless you _really_ want to do a source installation.

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/
pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
(considering that your local installs went to those directories. Try
replacing those directories accordingly for glib, atk, pango and
cairo). The files you're after is a ".pc" (pkg-config need them) file.
A quick find will tell you where it is if it is installed.

Run configure script again.

Yep. Check where it installed them one by one. In short, you need
access to a ".pc" file that they provide. If not, write one yourself.

man pkg-config for further info.

See above.
