Thank you for reporting this and helping to make ubuntu better. This bug has already been reported upstream: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2924666&group_id=4933&atid=104933
>From the author's comments [1], it appears that this bug is with broken libraries that maxima depends on or a broken compilation. If someone has time, please try the following: 1) rebuilding the karmic packages in a karmic ppa and see if that works (if it does, we'd need an SRU to rebuild maxima) 2) build the lucid package in a karmic ppa and see if it works (if that works, we can use the ppa as a work around, but an SRU might be too difficult since there are significant changes from karmic--> lucid's version) I only have lucid systems, so I can set up the ppas for testing, but I won't be able to test that easily (it'll take a while to set up a VM for karmic) [1] "Of course, Maxima can solve this equation and Maxima has no problem to run on Ubuntu 9.10. It is not a problem of Maxima. >From the build_info I can see that you are using an Ubuntu package. It is a known problem that this Ubuntu package does not work. Get Ubuntu to provide a working version or try a version from another source e.g. http://zeus.nyf.hu/~blahota/maxima. Closing this bug report as invalid.
