Then I installed wxGTK from the salix repository.
...
1/1 Hole http://salix.enialis.net/i486/13.0/ wxGTK 2.8.10.1-i486-3ab [5,1MB]... Fertig
...
but there was still something missing:
root@pc-old:~# ldd `which wxmaxima`
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8.so.0 (0xb7ed9000)
libwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8.so.0 (0xb7e6a000)
libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.8.so.0 (0xb7ddd000)
libwx_gtk2u_qa-2.8.so.0 => not found
...
then I removed the package
root@pc-old:~# slapt-get --remove wxGTK
...
And getting it from another repository solved the problem for me:
...
root@pc-old:~# slapt-get -i wxGTK-2.8.10-i486-1alien
...
1/1 Hole http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/ wxGTK 2.8.10-i486-1alien [3,8MB]... Fertig
...
So, I think libwx_gtk2u_qa-2.8.so.0 is missing in wxGTK on salix
