xmaxima is written in tcl/tk. In order to use it, you have to install tcl
and tk (the last package contains "wish", the tcl interpreter linked with
tk).

rmaxima requires rlwrap, which adds readline functionality (up arrow
recalls previous commands, you can edit end re-execute them, and so on) to
any program. However, I don't see why you want it. If clisp is compiled
with readline support, you already have this functionality in plain
maxima, without rmaxima.
