I found a workaround for the missing libXxf86vm.so.1 in the internet.
Thsi was in Debian-Sid and worked for me:

As root:

apt-get update
apt-get install xlibs-dev

after the installing of xlibs-dev:

cd /usr/X11R6/lib
ld --whole-archive -shared -o libXxf86vm.so libXxf86vm.a
ln -s libXxf86vm.so libXxf86vm.so.1
ldconfig

Now I could start Blitzmax.

But the next problem appears soon....
Blitzmax cannot save......
I have no idea, as that happens in my user's /home directory...
ok that was solved by a chmod -R 775 /home/mipooh/BlitzMax
