Ok, i've found the solution here but i'll post it here too for a better code highlighting:
Create a new modul and overwrite the wishlist block located in: code/core/Mage/Wishlist/Block/Customer/Wishlist.php
and add the following to your Wishlist.php
class Company_Wishlist_Block_Customer_Wishlist extends Mage_Wishlist_Block_Customer_Wishlist
{
protected function _prepareLayout()
{
parent::_prepareLayout();
$pager = $this->getLayout()
->createBlock('page/html_pager', 'wishlist.customer.pager')
->setCollection($this->getWishlist());
$this->setChild('pager', $pager);
$this->getWishlist()->load();
return $this;
}
public function getPagerHtml()
{
return $this->getChildHtml('pager');
}
}
now add <?php echo $this->getPagerHtml(); ?> to the start and/or end of the view.phtml located in: app/design/frontend/default/your_theme/template/wishlist/view.phtml. that should do the trick.

you do not need to create a new module.just create (with folder) in your local : app\code\local\Mage\Wishlist\Block\Customer\Wishlist.php.and enter the following code on Wishlist.php
<?php class Mage_Wishlist_Block_Customer_Wishlist extends Mage_Wishlist_Block_Abstract {
/**
* Preparing global layout
*
* #return Mage_Wishlist_Block_Customer_Wishlist
*/
protected function _prepareLayout()
{
parent::_prepareLayout();
$pager = $this->getLayout()->createBlock('page/html_pager', 'wishlist.customer.pager');
$pager->setAvailableLimit(array(5=>5,10=>10,20=>20,'all'=>'all'));
$pager->setCollection($this->getWishlist());
$this->setChild('pager', $pager);
$this->getWishlist()->load();
return $this;
}
/**
* Pager HTML
*
* #return HTML
*/
public function getPagerHtml()
{
return $this->getChildHtml('pager');
}
}
After that add following code in /app/design/frontend/base/default/template/wishlist/view.phtml
<?php echo $this->getPagerHtml(); ?>
after title div and after formkey in end of view.phtml
