Sorry about posting another post on this subject but unfortunately the others couldn't help me.
I recently compiled maxima 5.9.1 and wxMaxima 0.6.5 from source on my Gentoo machine and while using wxMaxima I always get the error message: "Not connected to maxima!".
Maxima is indeed in my path (I can fire it up from a shell with the command maxima) and I have no additional parameters for the program.
All help is greatly appreciated.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
jfa: starting server on port 4010
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:
Error in function EXTENSIONS:CONNECT-TO-INET-SOCKET: Unknown host: "localhost".
Automatically continuing.
To reenable the Lisp debugger set debugger-hook to nil.
Attempt to THROW to a tag that does not exist: RETURN-FROM-DEBUGGER [Condition of type KERNEL:SIMPLE-CONTROL-ERROR]

Correction: Version 0.6.4 of wxMaxima.
Which lisp did you use? Does xmaxima work?
What is the status displayed in the right part of wxmaxima's statusbar?

I ve got the same problem with wxmaxima "failed request with status 1280"
But xmaxima works.
Xmaxima does not work either. After a while it displays the message "Starting maxima timed out. Wait longer?"
Immediately after wxMaxima is started the statusbar displays the following message for like 1/4 of a second:
"Maxima started. Waiting for connection..."
And then immediately after that: "Maxima process terminated."
In the terminal where to program is run from the message: " (wxmaxima:5862): WARNING : failed request with status 1280" is repeated constantly.
Furthermore, I'm not quite certain what lisp means.
There is something preventing maxima to connect to wxMaxima server.
Try starting wxMaxima, wait for maxima proces to terminate and then start maxima in another terminal with
maxima -s 4010
The output might give some clue to what is going on.

I did just that and here is the output:

Your problem is caused by your maxima. Recompile it with a newer version of lisp (see the documentation which comes with maxima for details).
