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 wxGTK*
- cd wxGTK*
- ./configure
- make
- su
- (enter root password)
- make install
Optional for GUI (required for command line amule):
- tar -xzvf wxBase*
- cd wxBase*
- ./configure
- make
- su
- (enter root password)
- make install
- Grab pre-built Slackware package from linuxpackages.net.
- installpkg aMule-2.0.0rc7-i686-1.tgz (or whatever current version is)
- That's all!
3) UNINSTALL:
- removepkg aMule
4) UPDATING AMULE VERSION:
- upgradepkg aMule-2.0.0rc7-i686-1.tgz (will remove old amule package and install new version)
Hope this helps.

Final note
You can even get wxBase and wxGTK .tgz slack packages and install with 'installpkg'. Using the slackware package manager saves time during install and makes upgrading easy. You can also type 'pkgtool' as root and then search for the packages you have downloaded and install and/or remove packages.
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.
