Hi, I just update from Mint 17 Cinnamon to 18 Cinnamon and found the same problem. Lurking a little in the Internet I discover no one has a clear solution so I tried myself.
After a little playing I came up with two solutions: a.1) remove Maxima 5.37.2 completely from your system, a.2) go to SourceForge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/maxima/files/Maxima-Linux/5.41.0-Linux/), get Maxima Linux directory and install (5.41.0 version): i) maxima-common_5.41.0-6_all.deb (remember maxima-common first) ii) maxima-clisp_5.41.0-6_amd64.deb iii) maxima-ecl_5.41.0-6_amd64.deb iv) maxima-gcl_5.41.0-6_amd64.deb v) maxima-sbcl_5.41.0-6_amd64.deb a.3) go to your preferred software installer (Synaptic for me) and install wxMaxima. You will end with a working Maxima up to date environment. For those more technical biased the problem is in the /usr/share/maxima/5.37.2/draw/draw.lisp file. To solver it you should (remember you will need "root privileges": b.1) replace the line (load (merge-pathnames (make-pathname :name "draw" :type "system") #-gcl *load-pathname* #+gcl sys:*load-pathname*)) b.2) with the line (load (merge-pathnames (make-pathname :name "draw" :type "system") (maxima-load-pathname-directory))) and the problem is solve (at least for me). You should end with a Maxima 5.37.2 working environment. Good Luck, Ernesto PS: Internet community help me a lot along the years, happy to return. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1602941 Title: Draw cannot be loaded in 16.04 (Repackage needed since gcl has changed?)
