"There are errors" is completely useless. Please describe your issue in detail, including *literal* error messages

Have you seen the link I posted? All the errors are there, including the comments of the creator, who says it may be the compiler's problem. But, sure, here's what I see:

If I try to run a wx...() command, for example wxdraw2d(explicit(sin(x),x,0,10)), here's what it says:

(%i1) wxdraw2d(explicit(sin(x),x,0,10));

This doesn't look like any of the official maxima packages

I just tried again a "sudo pacman -S maxima wxmaxima", it said they are installed and it will install them again. Then I looked in /usr/share/maxima and indeed I found two other folders from a time when I tried compiling it myself. I removed them, removed ~/.maxima too, then ran wxMaxima -- same erros, except now, for the wxdraw2d(), the two lines read:

; in: PROGN (SETQ WXMAXIMALISPLOCATION "/usr/share/maxima//5.42.2")
; (SETQ MAXIMA::WXMAXIMALISPLOCATION "/usr/share/maxima//5.42.2")

Everything works for me with both maxima packages. Make sure you don't have any other leftovers from your previous manual system-wide installations under /usr.

Then maybe it's a good idea to either close this or put on hold until I manage to find out what is it that goes wrong. I'm sorry if it turns out to be a false alarm.

Would it be possible to post your configuration files for compilation? I'm trying to figure this out without reinstalling Archlinux.

You can find the PKGBUILD used to compile the package by clicking on "Source files" in https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/wxmaxima/
