I know that this is not much help, but: Does the command line version
work? (I never used maxima, so I may be wrong about this, but I
suspect that the maxima package provides a CLI.) In either case, you
should file a bug report against either the maxima-5.13.0-4.fc6 or the
maxima-gui-5.13.0-4.fc6 package, as appropriate. FC6 is still
supported.
