Hello,
I've been happily '$ sage -updgrade'ing since sage 2.10 or so, and
recently noticed that I couldn't use Maxima (details below). I'm not
sure for how long I've had this problem. Knowing the disclaimer that
applies to upgrading, I downloaded the linux 32-bit binaries for 3.1.1
from sagemath.org and still had the same problem. I'm running Ubuntu
Hardy on an AMD laptop.
If I try any command that calls Maxima, I have to wait for a timeout,
and then get an error. Specific system information and a traceback are
below.
Thanks very much for any help,
Jason Bandlow
