Hello, I want to run Maxima. Right now I'm using Sage only as a launcher for Maxima; it's a little bit crazy. (In the future I expect to use Sage for other things, but not at this moment.) I can try to build Maxima (first I'll need to get Lisp installed...) which is what I expect to end up doing.
However before I do that I want to ask about directly launching the Maxima that's installed with Sage, given that my sysadmins have kindly installed Sage for me. (This question is partly out of curiosity, and partly out of laziness---if I can skip installing Lisp and Maxima, great; if not, I'll survive!) I clearly can't just run /path/to/maxima --- it doesn't find its libraries: -bash-3.2$ pwd /apps/sage-4.2.1 -bash-3.2$ ./local/bin/maxima /apps/sage-4.2.1/local/lib/maxima/5.19.1/binary-ecl/maxima: error while loading shared libraries: libecl.so.9.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory There is no problem launching Maxima from within Sage. So there should be command-line options to help maxima find the libraries it needs; or some environment variable set by Sage. If anyone could point that out to me I'd appreciate it. Again, it's not urgent, rather for my own curiosity. Thanks.
