Dear Giuseppe,

Thank you for using pgAdmin3 (or trying to use it :p),
pgAdmin3 is compiled statically against a patched version of a
wxWindows2.5 snapshot. As our wxWindows debian packages are quite broken
compared to official wx2.4 ones and as the official maintainer of the
official debian packages whom is also a wxWindows member asked me not to
publish any packages concerning this, I decided not to put these
packages on the postgresql site. On which platform are you planning to
build ? If you want I may be able to try a build on HPPA 64 as I've got
one at home.
If you still want to try a build by yourself, you can try to read the
"Developer's corner" section in the file attached or consult it online
at :
http://cvs.pgadmin.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/pgadmin3/docs/en_US/snapshots.html
But be AWARE that the package is really experimental and conflicts with
the official wx2.4 debian package and so can break your system (I'm
working on this).

More simply, try this :
You can find the source packages or our wxWindows 2.5 by adding this
line to your sources.list
deb-src http://www.pgadmin.org/snapshots/linux/debian
experimental/testing wxwindows-pgadmin3

And try to rebuild the wxWindows 2.5 packages :
# apt-get source wxwindows-pgadmin3
# cd wxwindows-pgadmin3-2.5.0
# dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc

We stay in touch (I'll be unreachable this afternoon but I'll have a
look to my mail tonight).

Regards,

Raphaël
