I get an error message when attempting to use draw() and wxdraw() inside
wxMaxima.
I get errors like "cannot load draw.lisp."
I discovered that if I install the GCC compiler on Debian that the bug went
away.
Apparently there is additional maxima code that needs to be compiled when
certain functions are called by maxima.
The wxMaxima package was installed from the debian software repository.
Apparently GCC is not part of the default Debian installation.
It would probably be a good idea to document this issue somewhere.
Possibly pass this bug/issue to the wxMaxima team.
Run
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y build-essential
in your terminal to install the complete development environment.

>From maxima support - Robert Dodier maxima issue #4731
This is a packaging bug in the Debian package for Maxima;
the package should declare its dependency on GCC,
given that Maxima is compiled with GCL, and GCL appears to require GCC.
I will try to remember to open a ticket on the bug tracker
for the Debian package, although if you wish to do so, that would be terrific.
