This guide contains the following 2 architectures.

32-bit
In the case of i686 architecture, install wxgtk package only:

Code:

pacman -S wxgtk

Make sure all the needed dependencies are listed:

Code:

ldd kaiengine

Code:

linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb77a7000)
libwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8.so.0 (0xb76a4000)
libwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8.so.0 (0xb7642000)
libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.8.so.0 (0xb75c3000)
libwx_gtk2u_qa-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_qa-2.8.so.0 (0xb75a7000)
libwx_gtk2u_html-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_html-2.8.so.0 (0xb7516000)
libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8.so.0 (0xb7460000)
libwx_gtk2u_core-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_core-2.8.so.0 (0xb7135000)
libwx_baseu_xml-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_baseu_xml-2.8.so.0 (0xb712b000)
libwx_baseu_net-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_baseu_net-2.8.so.0 (0xb70ff000)
libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0 (0xb6fb8000)
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb6ed0000)
...

64-bit
In the case of x86_64 architecture, install 32-bit libraries from multilib repository, and then build 32-bit wxgtk library and install it.
To use the multilib repository and unofficial user repository, edit your pacman config file,

Code:

vi /etc/pacman.conf

and uncomment following 3 lines in there:

Code:

[multilib]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

and add following 3 lines to end of file:

Code:

[archlinuxfr]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch

Upgrade your system,

Code:

pacman -Syu

install gcc-multilib and its dependencies:

Code:

pacman -S gcc-multilib gcc-libs-multilib binutils-multilib libtool-multilib lib32-glibc

Build 32-bit wxgtk library and install it:

Code:

yaourt -S lib32-wxgtk

Install the following package:

Code:

yaourt -S lib32-gtk-engines

Make sure all the needed dependencies are listed. In Arch Linux x86_64, 32-bit libraries are located inside "/usr/lib32":

Code:

ldd kaiengine

Code:

linux-gate.so.1 => (0xf7777000)
libwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib32/libwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8.so.0 (0xf7671000)
libwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib32/libwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8.so.0 (0xf7611000)
libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib32/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.8.so.0 (0xf7590000)
libwx_gtk2u_qa-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib32/libwx_gtk2u_qa-2.8.so.0 (0xf7573000)
libwx_gtk2u_html-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib32/libwx_gtk2u_html-2.8.so.0 (0xf74e0000)
libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib32/libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8.so.0 (0xf7428000)
libwx_gtk2u_core-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib32/libwx_gtk2u_core-2.8.so.0 (0xf70fd000)
libwx_baseu_xml-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib32/libwx_baseu_xml-2.8.so.0 (0xf70f3000)
libwx_baseu_net-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib32/libwx_baseu_net-2.8.so.0 (0xf70c6000)
libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib32/libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0 (0xf6f7e000)
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6 (0xf6e96000)
