Stuart is the best person to help you.  (He's the one who created the
.iso), but, in the mean time, I can tell you what I found...

I found that the installer looks for wx-config (or something like
that) and that wx-config is not installed as part of any of the RPM's
available for FC5.  I too tried installing wxGTK from RPM and found
that I still couldn't install.  So I uninstalled the RPM and just let
the installer install it's own version of wxGTK, and that worked.
