hi Stephan, thanks for the scissor tip, will never look at 8< the same way 
again :-)
I’ve followed all your steps, but sadly still nothing has changed - tough maybe 
I have erred somewhere? Here is what I did:
First of all I created the wrapper file, and put it in HOME\bin, which I had 
already created following your instructions.
Then I’ve run
$ cat $HOME/bin/maxima
in the terminal window, and got the two lines of the new “wrapper” file.
Then put both ~/bin and HOME/bin in the LyX path for good measure, reconfigured 
LyX, closed Lyx and relaunched it, and again, it does not work.
So I thought maybe I should also have run the last two of the three other lines 
of code to be run in the terminal. Did that, but as you can see from the 
attachment after running that command I do not get a “$” sign, but a “>” as 
terminal prompt. Maybe this is the problem?
Thanks for your patience!

No problem. Simply type the 2 lines, cat is awaiting input.
To end the input you have to enter EOF, probably it is control+D.

Kornel


thanks Kornel (and Stephan), but now the result is that the maxima wrapper has 
been overwritten by empty lines!

So just to recap what I’ve done:

1. created the wrapper file, called it maxima, put it in HOME/bin, and checked 
it is there with the correct content by running the command “$ cat 
$HOME/bin/maxima” (no quotes) in the terminal window; I can also see the file 
in finder

2. run the three commands in the terminal window, where after the second line I 
had to use ctrl D to signal end of file

as a result, the “maxima” file has become an empty file (indeed, running “$ cat 
$HOME/bin/maxima” in the terminal window returns empty lines.

No change in behaviour in Lyx. If it helps, I have also Maple and Mathematica 
installed on my machine, but no luck invoking them from LyX either.

screenshot of terminal window is attached in case it is of any help.

Above all, thanks for taking the time with this.

Hi all,

I’ve searched the list and though this is not the first time the problem
is
noted, I haven’t been able to find any solution. The short of it is: it
just won’t work. So for instance if I type “5+2” then invoke
Edit/Math/CAS,
I only get a lonely = side to the right of the expression, and no result
(see screenshot)>

...

What happens if you call maxima from the console window and input the
string '(5+2);' followed by ? Here I get:
(%i1) (5+2);
(%o1)  7
(%i2)


...

from the console I get the same as you:

 (%i2) 5+2;
 (%o2)  7
 (%i3)

It should work. Do you have the same PATH settings on console?
Note, that I am not on MAC, so only guessing.

Kornel

I know it should work, which is why it is sooo frustrating! I cannot see any 
path settings in the Terminal, but I have put in lyX the same address as the 
one invoked for Maxima run from a terminal window, and still no joy!

The problem is that LyX contains the call of the external utility as hard-coded 
string and it is „maxima“.

The only solution I can see is to wrap the wrapper script „maxima.sh“ located 
inside the Maxima.app bundle
with a utility script like the following code (I cannot attach it - every virus 
checker will block the transport):
=== 8< snip here >8 ===
#!/bin/sh
exec /Applications/Maxima.app/Contents/Resources/maxima.sh "$@"
=== 8< snip here >8 ===

In terminal you may do this:
$ mkdir -p $HOME/bin
$ cat - > $HOME/bin/maxima < means joining the two “8”?
thanks!

1. You need to create the wrapper first and may try it (after creating it) in 
terminal by typing "$HOME/bin/maxima“
2. The wrapper should be placed in folder $HOME/bin (which is created first in 
case it doesn’t exist already by „mkdir“)
3. The snip surrounded two lines is the contents of the wrapper script - „8<" 
and „>8" are the two scissors :)

To explain the terminal commands:
The first terminal command is ensuring the existence of the folder „$HOME/bin“.
The second one (starting with „cat“ and ending with EOF) is one the way to 
create the wrapper script without any editor.
The third command is making your new wrapper script executable.

The 2nd command needs to be entered exactly as you see it.

You can verify what you did by using the terminal command:


It should give you the 2-line-script between the lines surrounded by the 
scissors.

The problem why you has to do it yourself is: I cannot send you any shell 
script.
No virus scanner will let it through. It doesn’t matter if it is useful or not.

Regards,
Stephan

I am trying to get a table of contents slide (this is a presentation
class) in which each level (section, subsection, subsubsection,
etc.) has its own bullet shape.  For instance: Sections will have a
ball, subsectons will have a triangle, subsubsection an asterisks,
etc.   
So far, nothing that I had tried did it.

I am currently running Lyx 2.2.0 on Mac Os Sierra, but I had exactly the same 
problem under Maverick and El Capitan with previous Lyx versions, namely, 
nothing happens.

I have specified the paths correctly (I think) to where the apps are 
(Mathematica, Maxima, Maple - nothing seems to work), and I can see the 
software calling the app (math-extern maxima), or (math-extern mathematica), 
but no result is churned out.

Here is what I have in the "PATH prefix" field under Lyx->Preferences->Paths:

/Library/TeX/texbin:/usr/texbin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin:/opt/local/bin:/Library/TeX/local/bin:/Library/TeX/bin:/Library/TeX/X11R6/bin:/Library/TeX/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/Library/TeX/usr/local/bin:/Applications/Mathematica.app/Contents/MacOS/MathKernel:/Applications/Maxima.app:/Applications/Maple
 18/Maple 18.app

Can anyone please help?

Many thanks,

I'd try calling lyx with '-dbg mathed' parameter from a console window.
Alternatively use View->Messages Pane->Settings
Check 'Selected'
Double click on 'mathed - Math editor'
back to 'Output'

input: 'simpsum:true;tex(5 + 2);'
output: '7'

many thanks Kornel for your prompt reply, I’ve tried what you suggested, and

calling: maxima
input: 'simpsum:true;tex(5 + 2);’

does this suggest where the problem is?

No, missing: output: '7'

What happens if you call maxima from the console window and input the string 
'(5+2);' followed by ?
Here I get:
(%i1) (5+2);

(%i2)

thanks,

Kornel

from the console I get the same as you:
(%i2) 5+2;

How did you call maxima in terminal?

I have it installed too and it looks like that:

It seems one has to start maxima.sh to get the command line interface. I’m not 
sure LyX knows it.
In any case one has to add "/Applications/Maxima.app/Contents/Resources“ to the 
PATH.

Stephan


thanks Stephan, I used “exec 
'/Applications/Maxima.app/Contents/Resources/maxima.sh’ “

although I also just launch the Maxima.app from the launcher. At any rate I 
have added your line to the path, reconfigured LyX, closed and reopened, but 
alas no change :-(

I'd try calling lyx with '-dbg mathed' parameter from a console window.
Alternatively use View->Messages Pane->Settings
Check 'Selected'
Double click on 'mathed - Math editor'
back to 'Output'
...
calling: maxima
input: 'simpsum:true;tex(5 + 2);'
output: '7'
Buffer.cpp (3449): updateMacro of novýsúbor9.lyx
12:31:27.889: Automatický úklad hotový.

Here it shows:
12:38:28.705: Alt+M Afinding 'finding 'finding 'use whole cell: checking expr: 
'5 + 2'
calling: maxima
input: 'simpsum:true;tex(5 + 2);'
output: '7'

Kornel

many thanks Kornel for your prompt reply, I’ve tried what you suggested, and 
what I got is no output, namely:

11:55:08.254: (math-extern maxima)finding 'finding 'finding 'use whole cell: 
checking expr: '5 + 2'
calling: maxima
input: 'simpsum:true;tex(5 + 2);’

does this suggest where the problem is?

No, missing: output: '7'

What happens if you call maxima from the console window and input the string 
'(5+2);' followed by ?
Here I get:
(%i1) (5+2);
(%o1) 7
(%i2)

thanks,
Paola

thanks Murat, but that does not make a difference either, unfortunately, I just 
tried by adding

/Applications/Maxima.app/Contents/MacOS/Maxima

to the path, but the outcome is the same: just “5+2=“, but no output.

Hi all,

making LyX work with CAS on Mac OS

[Paola Manzini]

Hi all,

I’ve searched the list and though this is not the first time the problem is 
noted, I haven’t been able to find any solution. The short of it is: it just 
won’t work. So for instance if I type “5+2” then invoke Edit/Math/CAS, I only 
get a lonely = side to the right of the expression, and no result (see 
screenshot)

I am currently running Lyx 2.2.0 on Mac Os Sierra, but I had exactly the same 
problem under Maverick and El Capitan with previous Lyx versions, namely, 
nothing happens.

I have specified the paths correctly (I think) to where the apps are 
(Mathematica, Maxima, Maple - nothing seems to work), and I can see the 
software calling the app (math-extern maxima), or (math-extern mathematica), 
but no result is churned out.

Here is what I have in the "PATH prefix" field under Lyx->Preferences->Paths:

/Library/TeX/texbin:/usr/texbin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin:/opt/local/bin:/Library/TeX/local/bin:/Library/TeX/bin:/Library/TeX/X11R6/bin:/Library/TeX/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/Library/TeX/usr/local/bin:/Applications/Mathematica.app/Contents/MacOS/MathKernel:/Applications/Maxima.app:/Applications/Maple
 18/Maple 18.app

Can anyone please help?

Many thanks,
Paola

Re: LyX 2.2.2 on Mac Os 10.12

That seems to fix my issue(s).

Impressive!
