[Maxima] "Not connected to maxima!"

[Ioannis Vranos]

I checked the mailing list archives but could not find any solution.


OS: Scientific Linux 4.4 x86 (a derivative from Red Hat Enterprise Linux, like CentOS etc).

wxMaxima 0.7.1 compiled from sources.

wxWidgets version 2.8.0 stable, compiled from sources.


When running wxMaxima 0.7.1 (as root), and trying to do anything with it, I am getting a 
"Not connected to maxima!" error message. I checked the configuration and found out port 
4010. I have enabled port 4010:tcp in my firewall, and have rebooted the system. Still, 
the error message persists.

Also in the window of wxMaxima 0.7.1, on the bottom right there is the message "Maxima 
process terminated".

I have tried erasing the default .wxMaxima from /root directory and also changed 
/etc/hosts to "127.0.0.1 localhost" only, but still the same problem.


Any solution?
