"/usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lwx_gtk2-2.4"

If i had to guess (and this is a guess btw) your ports are not in sync, 
you installed gtk etc. etc. and then upgraded your ports tree or 
something of the sorts because
aMule-1.2.6_1 is part of 4.10-Release and is looking for gtk-2.4.0.... 
aMule-1.2.8 is part of 4.10-Stable and is looking for gtk-2.4.7
Personally i'd do a "portupgrade -arR" and hope for the best, I don't 
know if it would fix the problem though.

Re-ask this on the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list, it is the 
appropriate place for technical questions such as this.
