[Fink-users] xmaxima failure
OS 10.4.9, unstable branch, daily fink updates, Gnome, clisp 2.41-1
installed
Two questions: fink info says that clisp-maxima is required for
Maxima; however, I have yet to find any problems with currently
installed Maxima v5.9.2 (except as stated below). Granted, my
experience is quite limited.
Is clisp-maxima still required for the current Maxima?
xmaxima, when invoked from xterm, reports
Error in startup script: can't read prefix: no such variable
while executing
set autoconf(datadir) ${prefix}/share
(file /sw/bin/xmaxima line 15085)
Maxima was installed from command-line with the y flag set (fink -y).
I haven't seen any related reports in the archives.
Help appreciated- thanks!

clisp-maxima is required for maxima-5.9.0.0 (in stable on ppc), but
is not required for the unstable version.
I recently made an experimental package for a more recent version of
maxima, available at http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/fink/
experimental/dmrrsn/maxima.info?revision=1.1view=markup
I would appreciate hearing about successes or failures with that
version: basically, I'm looking for somebody who actually *uses*
maxima to test it.
You'll notice that fink's maxima package has lost its maintainer; we
are actively looking for a new one.

Re: [Fink-users] xmaxima failure
Works great for me! I wouldn't call myself a heavy user by any means,
but it performs everything I have come to expect maxima to perform.
It even fixes the problem I was having with the automatic loading of
libraries.
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?
func=detailaid=1562636group_id=17203atid=117203
I haven't tested it on my PPC machine yet, but I would be surprised
if it doesn't run.
I've tested it with TeXMacs, running a fair number of commands, and
that seems to wok quite well.
Plotting works fine, too, with both openmath and gnuplot.
xmaxima runs just fine - though attempting to launch it from the menu
of X11 doesn't work very well.

Dave-
All appears to be working well, including xmaxima. I ran the test
built-in suite from xmaxima and no errors were reported.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the feedback. I have moved the experimental package to
