I cannot tell about wxwindows, but the crypto packages for redhat are
available officially from ftp.replay.com (/pub/crypto/redhat IIRC) in the

strong cryptography, so they are made outside the US.

RH61 is buggy :-(, at least the first release is, so before trying to
install it, get the updated packages (from updates.redhat.com or
possibly faster for you from ftp.tu-chemnitz.de).
