I have version 3.5 installed. I also noticed that there are "xaos-
aalib" and "xaos-svgalib" packages shown in the package manager and
they're not installed but I think they're not needed... or?

I installed GSL library (package: libgsl0) and then tried to reinstall
Xaos but the user formula option doesn't still appear. Or did you mean
that I should compile Xaos myself?

Yes, please install it from source (i.e. compile it yourself). It seems the factory version of XaoS was compiled without the GSL library support (i.e. the user formulas will not work at all).

Thank you very much! :D I installed a huge bunch 'o libraries (xlib,
zlib, libpng and gsl but xlib required lots of other packages as well)
and then compiled it and it seems to work well. I used GCC 4.4.3. By
the way, I noticed that the Xlib libraries are called "libxorg-X11"
and "libxorg-X11-devel" (I suppose that these developement library
packages should be installed when compiling stuff?), at least in
Mandriva's repositories. Searching for "xlib" returns nothing.
