A debian user reported the following problem with maxima 5.15.0. It seems not to be specific to Debian, so I am bringing it to your attention.

Thanks,

David

when plotting (with default gnuplot terminal or terminal set to ps to save the plot to a file) maxima yields the following:

[aguelzow@kirkman ~]$ maxima

Maxima 5.15.0 http://maxima.sourceforge.net Using Lisp GNU Common Lisp (GCL) GCL 2.6.7 (aka GCL) Distributed under the GNU Public License. See the file COPYING. Dedicated to the memory of William Schelter. The function bug_report() provides bug reporting information. (%i1) plot2d(sin(x),[x,-1,1]); (%o1) (%i2) gnuplot> set term default (%i2) ^ line 0: unknown or ambiguous terminal type; type just 'set terminal' for a list
