Thank you very much :-) 
I don't know that I can do it that in Debian. Thank you.

I yesterday download SBCL, the latest version 
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/sbcl/sbcl/1.0.40/sbcl-1.0.40-source.tar.bz2
and compiled it successful without any problems. 

Then I compile without any problems also Maxima 5.21.1 and install it in my 
home folder. It works :-) One problem was that there no support for readline 
in console. I found a solution on google with package 'rlwrap' 
http://www.debian-administration.org/article/Providing_better_editing_support_for_sbcl_via_readline
and this site
http://weitz.de/completions.html
I do it for sbcl and maxima and now everything works excellent.

I also install libwxbase2.8-dev by aptitude and download wxMaxima
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxmaxima/files/wxMaxima/0.8.5/wxMaxima-0.8.5.tar.gz/download
and also compile it with successful and now I can work very comfortable with 
new maxima and wxmaxima.

Thank you all for help.
