tags 284715 unreproducible thanks Greetings! You have not been able to start the maxima subprocess from within xmaxima. You likely have a unix socket opening problem. Try running xmaxima from a terminal and look for errors. Failing that, then run strace -f xmaxima and look for errors. Lastly, make sure you can run plain maxima from a terminal or emacs.
I'd like to close this ASAP, so please let me know how things are going.
