Hi Antonio:

I don't know anything about centos 6.3, but I looked at their repository 
and noticed that wxGTK seemed to be available so I imagine you can build 
wxmaxima from their source package by downloading 
wxmaxima-12.09.0.tar.gz**and doing the unpack/config/compile/install steps.

I just got through doing that for my Linux Mint system and it worked OK 
once I used the tar package. I tried by downloading the git source, but 
I got compilation errors because it's not the same as the tar package. 
Maybe I'll fiddle with that some more now that I have the tar package 
running.

I hope this helps you a little,

Paul Bowyer
