On some machines, we are also using Linux Mint, in the last year the
same version.

Please check if all wx related packages are installed from the list
mentioned here:

https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install#Linux_Mint

Filtered, that would probably these here:
libwxbase3.0-dbg libwxbase3.0-dev libwxgtk3.0-dbg libwxgtk3.0-dev
python-wxgtk2.8 python-wxtools python-wxversion wx3.0-headers
wx-common

However, I used GRASS GIS 7 and not 6 on my Mint box.

Please consider to use G7 and not 6, due to the zillions of improvements [1].
