#4731 draw() does not work on new debian 13 installation

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.
