RE: LyX and Mathematica
Does it mean LyX menu entry does nothing at all, or that it's functionality is (very) limited? If the first is true, what about Maxima support? In the configure script I have found only the entries for Octave and Maple - Maple is a bit too expensive, and Octave is primarily numeric system... Best regards, -- Andrzej Tomaszewski

I guess that it is not too difficult to finish the mathematica support if you have a compiler and know a bit C++. Georg
RE: LyX and Mathematica
Thank you, Georg, for your information! I'm afraid my general programming languages education ended on Pascal, later I primarily used program specific languages as Mathematica or Stata. Well, at least I can see what is missing for Mathematica to work... Maybe after finishing my PhD I will look into it more thoroughly, but for now I will end up installing Maxima.

Does it mean LyX menu entry does nothing at all, or that it's functionality is (very) limited? If the first is true, what about Maxima support? In the "configure" script I have found only the entries for Octave and Maple - Maple is "a bit" too expensive, and Octave is primarily numeric system... Best regards, -- Andrzej Tomaszewski

Hi All! I am asking a question on the list because I could not find anywhere any information about integrating LyX and Mathematica. I am using W2K OS, LyX 1.3.6-1 and Mathematica 4.1. What exactly have I to do in order to be able to use (math-extern mathematica) function? Script configure does not have an entry for Mathematica, however I have tried adding a path to Mathematica binaries to the LyX paths... Unfortunately nothing happens... I will greatly appreciate any help. Best regards, -- Andrzej Tomaszewski
