Hmm... how did this not get assigned to me, wxMaxima's maintainer? Oh well, I'll take it now.
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
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.
what is the contents of your /etc/hosts ?
