This bug really hurts :-( A question: I have this problem (wxmaxima can't connect to maxima) but I don't have gcl at all (I'm using 'clisp' instead).
maxima alone works just fine, it connects successfully to the lisp interpreter. It is only wxmaxima that has the problem. Moreover, if I install gcl, and change the preferences in wxmaxima to use gcl (instead of clisp) I get exactly the same problem: Any input to wxmaxima results in: CLIENT: Lost socket connection ... Restart maxima with 'Maxima-> Restart maxima'. So how can this possibly be a problem with gcl? I assume William Grant was referring to a different problem in gcl. If this helps, I'm attaching a full (13K) 'strace -f' output from wxmaxima including the failure. ** Attachment added: "'strace -f' output from wxmaxima on Ubuntu 6.06" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4843513/wxmaxima-problem.strace -- wxmaxima fails with error, can't connect to maxima https://launchpad.net/bugs/43150 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
