1、remove installed wxwidgets: apt remove libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev libwxgtk-webview3.0-gtk3-dev
2、rm -rf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/wx/
3、reinstall wxwidgets apt install libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev libwxgtk-webview3.0-gtk3-dev
4、reinstall erlang vfox install erlang@26.2.5.1

finally, problem has been sloved. got no wx related errors.

use erl REPL to check wxwidgets is installed normally.
