Comment (by dimpase):

 I also noticed that some normaliz.lib functions are not working as
 advertised, e.g.
 {{{
 > startNmz();
    ? open: Error for link _ of type: ASCII, mode: r, name:
 nmz_sing_exec.path
    ? cannot read from `nmz_sing_exec.path`
    ? error occurred in or before normaliz.lib::startNmz line 292: `
 string s=read(inf); `
    ? expected string-expression. type 'help string;'
    ? leaving normaliz.lib::startNmz
    skipping text from `;` error at token `)`
 }}}
 instead of [http://www.singular.uni-
 kl.de/Manual/latest/sing_1154.htm#SEC1230 this]. This is probably minor,
 as {{{normaliz}}} executable is found in the {{{PATH}}}.
 To make it work I can do
 {{{
 > setNmzDataPath("/tmp/");
 > setNmzFilename("blah");
 > writeNmzPaths();
 > startNmz();
 nmz_exec_path not set
 nmz_data_path is /tmp/
 }}}
 If I then try the Singular input as above to compute
 {{{intclMonIdeal(I)}}} I can see that the files {{{/tmp/blah.*}}} created
 do not make sense. E.g. {{{/tmp/blah.in}}} is as follows:
 {{{
 1
 1
 2
 3
 }}}
 which makes little sense.

 I would not be surprised is this is an upstream (i.e. {{{normaliz}}}) bug.
