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)
- installpkg aMule-2.0.0rc3-i686-2.tgz (or whatever current version is)
- That's all!
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- Package 'curl' not found or version is outdated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.
