MD5 (Maxima-5.40.0-VTK-macOS.dmg) = 3042592e5d8916555123cc2e58545c6b
To be exact, the system reports the executable is corrupt when copied by user to Applications drawer and executed.

This is a really important thread to the larger MacOS community.
I have a MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan, which is locked down a few versions back from the current MacOS Mojave.
I spent an entire night trying to get every wxMaxima from 5.36 to 5.42 running without success - even compiling from sources.
In desperation I found the enigmatic thread 39 and entered the line:
(setf sb-impl::default-external-format :utf-8)
into a ~home/.sbclrc file (/Users/myName/.sbclrc). It was only then that the GUI and the Maxima engine could connect and a normal session could be established. Maxima, its maintainers and its users are too important a world resource to be stymied by such an esoteric and non-obvious bug.
A user encountering this bug will first go into the preferences menu and start trying to make sure that the file addresses and port numbers are correct, but experimentation can corrupt these and lead to other problems.

The last comment isn't about VTK => would you be so kind as to open a new bug ticket for this? Thanks in advance,

Thanks for the bug report. What is the MD5 checksum (or any other checksum) of the dmg on your system?

I think the following post of Maxima mailing list will help you.
https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/mailman/message/35906912/
https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/mailman/message/35910588/
https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/mailman/message/35911771/
Success!
This needs to be addressed as a part of installation instructions - either that, or a proper installer should be included.
I have added a note in the draw-VTK web site:
http://tecnostats.net/Maxima/vtk/index.html
Hope this will help other users with the same problem.
Thanks to all for your interest.
Closing this report since the issue has been resolved.
