After long trying toget rid of this error I tried to build with gcc-3.3 and gcc-3.4 and different versions of cppunit and gnuradio and wxpython. 
But it never helped so I just gave-up.

My workaround for now is: ignore the make check error
I am not happy about this because it is probably an indicator for more problems 
to come. Still I do have some working gnuradio applications.

It indeed probably has to do with which c++ libraries are used and with which 
compiler they were built.
I just don't know rightaway how to specify which c++ library to used (or find 
out which one is used or should be used)
Has anybody some info or a link on this?
