"It's well known that Maxima-draw is broken in Ubuntu 16.04 due to a
change in the GCL lisp compiler.

At present, the only workaround I know is to compile Maxima yourself. I
have compiled it in my Xubuntu 16.04 with SBCL instead of GCL and it
works as expected. Have you ever compiled Maxima? I can help you with
instructions." Mario Rodriguez
