Wx installs by default under /usr/local/. You'll find files in the
include/ lib/ and bin/ directories iirc. Tey should be easy to spot -
just delete them to be sure.

wxGTK 2.6.1 should compile out of the box from a clean tree. If not, try
removing the entire tree, and unpacking a new copy from the original
tarball. If it still fails, you will need to ask the wx list I'm afraid.

I've never needed to touch LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

No idea (I'm a Slackware user) - however, I would definitely stick with
2.6.1 unless advised otherwise by the wx people. The original bug you
ran into is highly unlikely to cause you any noticable issues in pgAdmin
so is definitely better than using an untested CVS version.
