Hi,
that was a bug I introduced in 5.33.0 and which has already been fixed
on May 28:
http://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/code/ci/e86fb0d691cfa83437aa3a75e8be901bf6bde3d2/
Those using 5.33.0 can also fix the problem by adding the following line
to the Maxima init file:
set_plot_option([gnuplot_default_term_command, "set term pop"])$
Regards,
Jaime

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.

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.
Best regards.
