Installing aMule on Slackware
1) Download wxBase and wxGTK sources (.tar.gz packages) from http://www.amule-project.net or http://www.amule.org
- NOTE: you will need root access or equivalent to complete amule install.
2) INSTALL:
- tar -xzvf wxBase*
- cd wxBase*
- ./configure
- make
- make install
- tar -xzvf wxGTK*
- cd wxGTK*
- ./configure
- make
- make install
- Grab pre-built Slackware package from http://www.linuxpackages.net/download.php?id=3038 (choose a mirror)
- IMPORTANT: you need to have installed pkgtools with slack (this is done by default).
- installpkg aMule-2.0.0rc3-i686-2.tgz (or whatever current version is)
- That's all!
- Type amule in a shell to lauch or in KDE (similar in GNOME) go to Kstart->Internet->aMule
3) UNINSTALL:
- removepkg aMule (should work without version, etc.)
- Then if you want get a newer aMule*.tgz version as installpkg again.
Hope this helps.

Final note
Building aMule itself from source (i.e. NOT from installpkg aMule*.tgz) usually causes many problems in Slackware, Knoppix, and a few other distros. Known possible problems:
- configure fails to build makefile :(
- wxwidgets error or similar
- package 'curl' not found or version is outdated
- crypto and many make errors
Enjoy the hard work aMule developers have done and continue to do!
Just remember you will need wxBase and wxGTK installed even when using slackware package.
