I've managed to build and install the current version of Cantor from Git. Cantor reports its version as 0.5. KDE version is 4.8.5. Maxima version is branch_5_33_base_153_ge30d638 (post-5.33 from Git).
When I launch Cantor, :lisp *alt-display2d* is nil, which indicates that cantor-initmaxima.lisp was not loaded. After :lisp (load "/usr/share/kde4/apps/share/apps/cantor/maximabackend/cantor-initmaxima.lisp") then *alt-display2d* is 'cantor-latex-print as expected, and other variables are set as well. Running strace as suggested and entering expressions such as 1+1 and x*x shows that output is wrapped in <cantor-result> ... </cantor-result> as expected. So my guess about what's going on is that Cantor did not locate, or did locate and failed to load, the Maxima init file. Maybe OP can determine whether or not the file was actually loaded. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
