Hmm... how did this not get assigned to me, wxMaxima's maintainer?  Oh well, 
I'll take it now.

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2007-10-11 13:37:45 UTC
Appears to not be a wxMaxima bug:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2007-October/msg01224.html

check to make sure you have (something like) in /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2007-11-11 23:08:18 UTC
Feel free to reopen if you still experience problems after verifying your
/etc/hosts has a valid localhost entry.

I have this problem too in a almost-clean Fedora 12. I have that line in /etc/hosts and I have made ifconfig lo up, but it still doesn't work. I have tried too to disable the firewall but that doesn't worked...

It should work out of the box, if not, the bug is still present.

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2010-01-14 20:55:56 UTC
what is the contents of your 
/etc/hosts
?

# hostname name.domain.net added to /etc/hosts by anaconda
127.0.0.1		localhost.localdomain localhost name.domain.net
::1		localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 name.domain.net
