On ubuntu dapper ppc maxima does not even start.
I recompiled maxima and wxmaxima from cvd with gcl and clisp.
If I compile maxima with gcl, it works alone but does not communicate
correctly with wxmaxima (it starts, do the prompt and then hangs on the
wxmaxima window at the first operation). If I use clisp all goes well.
