wxGTK is on freshrpms, so you can download all the
appropriate RPM from there (for fedora!).
http://yarrow.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=340
Some simple RPMs may work across distros, but
there are no guarantees. On that topic http://www.openpkg.org/
seems interesting. BTW setup apt or more preferably yum
as then you can essentially say "install wxGTK"
and any dependent RPMs in the repository will be
installed automatically.

On an rpm distribution, you can list
packages by size like:

rpm -qa  --queryformat "%10{SIZE}\t%{NAME}\n" | sort -k1,1n
