Thanks for the quick response to the wxmaxima problem,
I tried downloading the complete wxmaxima source using:
git clone git://wxmaxima.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/wxmaxima/wxmaxima
but it evidently needs more effort than what is shown in the README file.
After doing this:
./bootstrap
./configure
make
sudo make install
the install had errors and wxmaxima wouldn't run properly.
I then copied the wxmathml.lisp file from the newest source tree into
the source from the 12.04.0 tarball and built that and installed it and
the rtest5 problem went away.
I suspect there might be other problems with this solution because there
were other files that were changed since the 12.04.0 release of
wxmaxima, but I don't currently know how to properly build the entire
latest source. If anyone knows the proper build commands, I would rather
use the entire newest source.
