maxima not working under grsec kernel
Posted: Sat Jun 18, 2016 4:58 amI can't tell how long this issue actually exists, but maxima segfaults under grsec kernels (works fine using vanilla kernels).
A few kernel versions back (but I do not remeber anymore, I guess some 4.4 release) maxima worked just fine.
Simply starting maxima from command-line results in a segfault, but there is nothing in the logs apart from the obvious:
