The following file should install needed libs (please write what packages you had to install additionally so I can fill the corresponding variable.

In addition it corrects existing symlinks or creates them if missing.
In the case of a modification of your system (newer library files), just run this script again as it does handly broken symlinks by itself.

The section "linkfiles" contains existing files on your computer. The part ".0" or ".6" ... is automatically removed when creating the symlinks.
Feel free to create a helper function searching the correct library automatically.

Create a file wxMaxLibLinker.sh

run that file as sudo:
sudo ./wxMaxLibLinker.sh

Maybe that makes life easier for some of you.
