thanks
Greetings! You have not been able to start the maxima subprocess from
within xmaxima. You likely have a unix socket opening problem. Try
running xmaxima from a terminal and look for errors. Failing that,
then run strace -f xmaxima and look for errors. Lastly, make sure you
can run plain maxima from a terminal or emacs.
I'd like to close this ASAP, so please let me know how things are
going.
Take care,
