Does /opt/local/bin/wxmaxima exist? I presume it doesn't. I downloaded the
most recent pre-compiled binary of wxMaxima from our packages server and
verified it does not contain such a file. Also, wxMaxima was last updated
one year ago; it hasn't changed since then.

/opt/local/share/aclocal/wxwin.m4 (#48152). Actually, this symlink seems
to have returned.
m4 files are used for building software; they are not related to running
software.

"/opt/local/share/aclocal/wxwin.m4 is not provided by a MacPorts port."
The message is correct; that file would not be provided by installing a
MacPorts port; rather, it would be provided by running "sudo port select
wxwidgets"

> Yes, that would work; but something must have gone wrong with my
macports installation since wxmaxima used to launch when invoking it
simply with "wxmaxima."
Does running
{{{
/Applications/MacPorts/wxMaxima.app/Contents/MacOS/wxmaxima
}}}
work for you? Mojca said it didn't work for her, but if it works for you,
perhaps you formerly had
/Applications/MacPorts/wxMaxima.app/Contents/MacOS in your `PATH`.
However, as we said above, that's not the normal way to run an OS X
application. Use `open -a`.
