DetailsDescription:
Maxima reliably crashes when started with -s , thus rendering GUIs like wxMaxima unable to connect to it. As a repo package it should be usable to it's full extent. Additional info: * extra/maxima 5.29.1-1 * extra/sbcl 1.1.4-1 Steps to reproduce: - Install extra/maxima and be sure to use extra/sbcl - Start maxima with $ maxima -s <any port> (tried with 1234 and 4090) |

"-s port, --server=port
Connect Maxima to server on port. Note that this does not create a Maxima server; Maxima is the client."
In other words, it's not supposed to work, unless you start the server elsewhere first. Some searching online as well as good old pacman -Ql found me this file: /usr/share/maxima/5.29.1/share/contrib/maxima-server.lisp
You can use it to start a server by:
$ maxima
(%i1) load ("/usr/share/maxima/5.29.1/share/contrib/maxima-server.lisp");
(%i2) :lisp (server-run);
Where I have left out all output. This will start a server on port 1042. The comments indicate that you should connect to it by telnet, which seems to give a normal maxima prompt. maxima -s 1042 atleast doesn't crash, but I don't really get what to do with it.
If you are mainly interested in wxMaxima, you should just install it. It works out of the box.
