forwarded 752214 maxima-disc...@lists.sourceforge.net thanks Package: maxima Version: 5.33.0-3 Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer, I am running the kde desktop on jessie and installed the gnuplot and maxima packages. Gnuplot uses the terminal option qt by default, whereas maxima wants the wxt terminal, which is not installed by default. Thus I get the following error when I plot. Maxima 5.33.0 http://maxima.sourceforge.net using Lisp GNU Common Lisp (GCL) GCL 2.6.10 (a.k.a. GCL) Distributed under the GNU Public License. See the file COPYING. Dedicated to the memory of William Schelter. The function bug_report() provides bug reporting information. (%i1) plot2d(x^2-x,[x,-10,10]); (\%o1) \verb|/home/yves/maxout.gnuplot_pipes| \\ \verb| | gnuplot> set term wxt size 640,480 font ",12"; set term pop ^ line 0: unknown or ambiguous terminal type; type just 'set terminal' for a list I can fix it by issuing the command set_plot_option([gnuplot_term, qt]); I am not sure however why maxima wants to use the wxt backend with gnuplot. I didn't install wxmaxima, the wxt backend is not available by default with a gnuplot install under kde, neither is the library libwxbase. My feeling is that the maxima package should not rely on wxwidgets by default for plotting. At least it should check for the availability of the backend.

But it was recently disabled in gnuplot 4.6.5-4 to fix bug #750045. -k --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Send a report that this bug log contains spam. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian bug tracking system administrator <ow...@bugs.debian.org>.
