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

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: /sourceforge. net/projects/ maxima/ files/Maxima- Linux/5. 41.0-Linux/),
a.1) remove Maxima 5.37.2 completely from your system,
a.2) go to SourceForge (https:/
get Maxima Linux directory and install (5.41.0 version):
i) maxima- common_ 5.41.0- 6_all.deb (remember maxima-common first) clisp_5. 41.0-6_ amd64.deb ecl_5.41. 0-6_amd64. deb gcl_5.41. 0-6_amd64. deb sbcl_5. 41.0-6_ amd64.deb
ii) maxima-
iii) maxima-
iv) maxima-
v) maxima-
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") pathname* ))
#-gcl *load-pathname*
#+gcl sys:*load-
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
