Try to add to numbers, f.ex. press 'enter' and Blam!

wxMaxima 0.6.4 http://wxmaxima.sourceforge.net
Maxima restarted.
(%i1) 1+2;
CLIENT: Lost socket connection ...
Restart maxima with 'Maxima->Restart maxima'.

The maxima shell works without any trouble.

I am guessing that this is caused by an endianess
problem, this machine being a 64-bit SPARC, running
Ubuntu 6.06 "dapper"

This is a Ubuntu bug not a wxMaxima bug. Look at

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/wxmaxima/+bug/43150/+index

for solutions.

Try adding "universe multiverse" to the two lines for dapper-updates
in /etc/apt/sources.list, then Reload in Synaptic and reinstall
maxima, wxmaxima, etc.
