How to install Maxima CAS on Ubuntu 21.04?
First I check if it is installed :
maxima
the result:
The assertion realpath(s,o) on line 471 of main.c in function mbin failed: Invalid argumentAborted (core dumped)
It is confirmed bug 1926225 - .
So I try to use snap :
sudo snap install wxmaxima
then check:
snap find wx
The result :

Then try to run
wxmaxima
the result:
(wxmaxima:10141): Gtk-ERROR **: GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
So maybe it need maxima :
sudo apt-get install maxima
the result:
maxima is already the newest version (5.44.0-2).
Is it possible to install Maxima CAS on Ubuntu 21.04 ?

Is it a problem related with installation ? I have made a bug report
So both deb-packaged (official and from “The maxima developers” team PPA) and Snap versions of Maxima are broken on Ubuntu 21.04.
You have to remove Snap version with
snap remove wxmaxima
But maxima package from upcoming 21.10 works normally. You can install it with:
cd ~/Downloads
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/m/maxima/maxima_5.44.0-3_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install wxmaxima ./maxima_5.44.0-3_amd64.deb
and use as it was planned.
