What is the error?
What did you pass to ./configure? --enable-darwin-64bit?

Most likely reason is that wxErlang won't work with wxMac 2.8 (bundled
version in Darwin 10.6). Only the unreleased wxWidgets development
branch for 2.9 has Cocoa and 64-bit support.

Have you tried ./configure with CFLAGS env-var set to "-m32" instead
of modifying configure.in?
