** Description changed: Binary package hint: maxima Ubuntu 6.06.1, kernel 2.6.15-28-686 Maxima 5.9.2 from package 5.9.2-2ubuntu3 (dapper-updates) The help commands 'describe' or '?' cause an error and don't work. If libc6-dev is installed the problem disappears, but this library is neither a dependency of maxima nor a suggested/recommended package. To reproduce: Make sure libc6-dev is not installed. + EDIT:'plot2d' is just an example and may be replaced by any other maxima command. :~$ maxima Maxima restarted.
