What I uploaded is completely unreadable. Reading more on this bug in the dups, it becomes obvious that the problem is in maxima (when called as a 'server' with -s ) rather than in wxmaxima. Running this simpler example, results in this failure: $ maxima -s 7776 jfa: starting server on port 7776 couldn't open socket:$ Note that there's not even a newline at the end of the error message. The strace shows: 21650 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) =3D 3 21650 fcntl64(3, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) =3D 0 21650 connect(3, {sa_family=3DAF_INET, sin_port=3Dhtons(7776), sin_addr=3Di= net_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) =3D -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused) 21650 write(2, "couldn\'t open socket:", 21) =3D 21 21650 exit_group(1) =3D ? So it looks like a bug in maxima. Clearing all the iptables restrictions doesn't change anything. I have no restrictions on localhost connections and I still get 'connection refused'. --===============0520406462436409823== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Author: LaserJock (laserjock) Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2006 04:34:07 -0000 Message-Id: <20061015043407.19052.13642.malone@gandwana.ubuntu.com> The version of maxima in Dapper was compiled with a gcl version that seems to have introduced this bug.
