To compile you need header files, not just the actual libraries. The header
files are found in the *-devel packages. So you would need both wxGTK and
wxGTK-devel.
When you install and run a precompiled package you don't need the headers,
only the libraries.
However, in the case of roadnav I don't see that it requires wxGTK:
[root at phoenix ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i wx
wxPython-2.8.4.0-2.fc8
wxGTK-2.8.4-6.fc8
compat-wxGTK26-2.6.4-0.8
wxGTK-gl-2.8.4-6.fc8
Then, one by one:
[root at phoenix ~]# rpm -q --whatrequires compat-wxGTK26
no package requires compat-wxGTK26
[root at phoenix ~]# rpm -q --whatrequires wxPython
tovid-0.31-3.fc8
[root at phoenix ~]# rpm -q --whatrequires wxGTK
wxGTK-gl-2.8.4-6.fc8
[root at phoenix ~]# rpm -q --whatrequires wxGTK-gl
no package requires wxGTK-gl
And in fact if I do
rpm -q --requires roadnav
again I don't see anything about wx.
At any rate, I have it installed on F8 and it crashes when I try to set
an address. It worked fine in F7.
