Yes, before MuPAD was bought by MathWorks the symbolic toolbox in
Matlab was based on Maple. You can still buy it even now since they
are interested in not breaking old code.

The main issue here seems to be related to the use of Fortran runtime
(R does not deal with g95 too well) and some env variable issues IIRC.
If you get me the problem logs again I can take a look since I only
vaguely recall the problem. You might want to open a new thread for
that.
