Hi,
I have tried to find a solution tot this error on the internet, but have not been successful. I am running version 5.38.0 on Mac 10.8.2.
When I put a simple expression in wMaxima and ask it to factor it (or derive it, or integrate it), the system crashes and outputs the following error message several times:
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:
decoding error on stream
#<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "socket 127.0.0.1:56693, peer: 127.0.0.1:4010"
{13649991}>
(:EXTERNAL-FORMAT :ASCII):
the octet sequence (203) cannot be decoded.
Automatically continuing.
To enable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.
I had this issue with previous version, and am currently trying it again with latest version (5.28.0), but result is the same.
The same version works fine on a Ubuntu installation.
Thanks for your help,
Marco
