Personally I don't care if it uses gcl or cmucl, I just want it to work :) So, here are the steps to rebuild maxina w/Olaf's cmucl patch. Thanks Olaf!
$ cd /tmp $ apt-get source maxima $ sudo apt-get build-dep maxima $ sudo apt-get cmucl $ cd maxima_5.9.2 $ curl http://leidola.newcon.de/daten/maxima-cmucl.patch | patch -p1 $ debuild -us -uc -b $ dpkg -i ../maxima_5.9.2-2ubuntu1_i386.deb Start up wxmaxima and test... should work now. Hope this helps some newbies! -- 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
