Hello --
I am new to LyX and am wondering how to get LyX and maxima working together.
I have them both on my computer and when I try highlighting an equation in
LyX and going through the menus to select maxima, I just get a blank
expression.
Does anyone have any pointers to how to install it? I am on a Mac.
Thanks in advance,
Dana
Hi,
You might need to put the path to the maxima executable in Tools >
Preferences > Paths > PATH prefix (add it there, using ; to separate it
from the other paths)
Also I'm not sure that it works with symbolic expressions. What did you
try? Did you try something really simple as in 2+2 -> Maxima -> 2+2=4
(this worked for me using Octave as I don't have Maxima installed)
