Hello Waldek Hebisch, thanks for this remark over the config.log. I had no idea. I first want to have efricas working together with some TeX. I have several TeX's: auctec(packet), TeXStudio, TeXworks, TexMaker. I do not know how to let any TeX working together with emacs. Of course I searched for all kind op packets which suited emacs. I found a maxima packet for emacs. Although I installed all, I have no idea how to connect with emacs. I am not an expert on this and do not know anyone who uses emacs. At this moment I do not have any printer connected with this Debian 8. I send printed files to my Brother connected with windows. Efricas works but like a console. What to do? With friendly greetings, Peter
