Hmm... I can't think of anything there that would hang or get stuck in 
an endless loop, unless it's something in the GTK initialization code.

As far as I can tell you are doing everything right.  Some things I 
would check:

* Is the DISPLAY environment variable set in the terminal you run Python 
from?

* Is Sun's CC or gcc being used for the compilation?  If Sun's CC then 
try gcc.  (IIRC everything from sunfreeware was built with gcc.)

* Try building and running one of the wx samples (run gmake in 
<wx-build-dir> /samples/minimal for example and then run the executable 
built there.)
