#4731 draw() does not work on new debian 13 installation I get an error message when attempting to use draw() and wxdraw() inside wxMaxima. I get errors like "cannot load draw.lisp." I discovered that if I install the GCC compiler on Debian that the bug went away. Apparently there is additional maxima code that needs to be compiled when certain functions are called by maxima.
