After looking in /usr/local/include I found the directory labelled 
wx-2.8    - I gather this is outdated and should say wx-2.8.4 ? How do I 
check which version I am using and could you provide me a link with 
upgrade instructions, or do I simply download and install the updated 
library as I did the first time?

I do typically have that line uncommented at grid->Fit(); but it doesn't 
seem to have any effect.
