wxmaxima works completely fine when connected to internet. It gives a "maxima started: waiting for connection" when i am offline.
maxima works fine on console.
i am running it on x86_64.
some pages suggested that i change my /etc/hosts file to include the following
127.0.0.1 localhost
With this change i am getting the same errors.
the error i get on running wxmaxima (or "maxima -s 4010") from console is
> wxmaxima
Help! 11 nested errors. SB-KERNEL:*MAXIMUM-ERROR-DEPTH* exceeded.

try putting something like this in your /etc/hosts (replace your_hostname with the real hostname you set for your machine)
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost your_hostname
::1 localhost.localdomain localhost your_hostname
( the ::1 is the ipv6 equivalent of 127.0.0.1 )

i found the source of error. i have a BCM43142 wireless, for which i use broadcom-wl-dkms package from aur. if i rmmod the wl module wxmaxima works fine.
i dont have a clue why this is happening.

meesum,
that sounds like a bug between wxmaximi and the broadcom module, i think you should alert wxmaxima devs about this .
To clarify :
if you got wireless internet connection using the wl module , everything works ?
if you don't have internet connection and the wl module is loaded/active wxmaxima hangs ?

Lone_Wolf,
thanks for helping.
i started a new issue with wxmaxima devs.

i downloaded the source files for wxmaxima and maxima, and found that the bug is not in wxmaxima. it simply uses wxwidgets to open a socket for maxima. the bug is possibly in the "setup-client" defun or sbcl code in server.lisp in maxima/src (or sbcl could be buggy), i left it there as i dont understand lisp.
meanwhile, the workaround is to compile maxima using clisp. it works.
heres a link .

Sorry for necro post.
But I installed maxima-ecl from pacman (thus removing maxima package, they conflict) which provides the maxima program but using ECL instead of SBCL. And it appears to not have this bug
