You can use http://packages.ubuntu.com/ to search for Ubuntu packages.
The GUI version of wxWidgets seems to be named libwxgtk2.8-0.
libwxgtk2.8-dbg has the debugging routines, and libwxgtk2.8-dev the
development libraries. It looks like libwxgtk2.6-0 is also available
in Ubuntu 7.10

Sorry, but I don't know how the openSUSE build service works. (I can't
see why a build service would tell you to use a converter like Alien
instead of just building the package itself, though. It sounds a
little like you're missing a file, or some permissions be set
incorrectly, or that you might not be running the software as root.)
