Bug#737198: maxima doesn't honour *prompt-prefix* and *prompt-suffix* as used by cantor-backend-maxima
OK, it turns out I did not correct install Cantor after compiling it (incorrect installation prefix). However, I've now fixed that problem, and the result is that Cantor loads the Maxima init file successfully and Maxima does honor the prompt prefix and suffix variables, as verified by strace. So in summary, both Cantor and Maxima appear to be working as expected. Both are built from current source code.

tags 737198 unreproducible thanks Greetings, and thanks so much for looking into this. To the OP, please let me know if anything has been overlooked. If not, I plan on closing this in a week's time.

Bug#737198: maxima doesn't honour *prompt-prefix* and *prompt-suffix* as used by cantor-backend-maxima
I've managed to build and install the current version of Cantor from Git. Cantor reports its version as 0.5. KDE version is 4.8.5. Maxima version is branch_5_33_base_153_ge30d638 (post-5.33 from Git). When I launch Cantor, :lisp *alt-display2d* is nil, which indicates that cantor-initmaxima.lisp was not loaded. After :lisp (load /usr/share/kde4/apps/share/apps/cantor/maximabackend/cantor-initmaxima.lisp) then *alt-display2d* is 'cantor-latex-print as expected, and other variables are set as well. Running strace as suggested and entering expressions such as 1+1 and x*x shows that output is wrapped in cantor-result ... /cantor-result as expected. So my guess about what's going on is that Cantor did not locate, or did locate and failed to load, the Maxima init file. Maybe OP can determine whether or not the file was actually loaded. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#737198: maxima doesn't honour *prompt-prefix* and *prompt-suffix* as used by cantor-backend-maxima
I installed (via apt-get) cantor and cantor-backend-maxima on my Ubuntu 12.04 system. $ cantor --version Qt: 4.8.1 KDE Development Platform: 4.8.5 (4.8.5) Cantor: 0.3 When I launch cantor --backend maxima, it seems to work as expected. However, I find that the variables and functions defined in cantor-initmaxima.lisp are apparently undefined. For example, :lisp *prompt-prefix* is null. My guess is that cantor-initmaxima.lisp was not loaded, perhaps because it is apparently not included in the package cantor-backend-maxima. Is it possible that the init file was not loaded correctly? What is the value of *prompt-prefix* and other stuff defined there? I realize that there may be a newer version of cantor-backend-maxima. I can't (short of some major updating) compile the current source code from Git for lack of KDE 4. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
