I tried to find out where any configuration of command for CAS may lay, and I do not found any. I suspect that if in Windows the maxima command is .bat, LyX has to launch it with proper call to cmd.exe - the Windows' command interpreter. This is because new threaded command launched uses exec() call to launch external tools. -- Manveru jabber: manv...@manveru.pl gg: 1624001 http://www.manveru.pl

The problem here is that LyX is invoking the command "maxima" but there's only a batch file (maxima.bat) to be executed on Windows. Now, LyX 2.0 on Windows is not able to execute batch files anymore. You may have better luck trying the Cygwin version of LyX , as a bash script "maxima" is also supplied and the Cygwin version is able to execute it. -- Enrico
LyX+Maxima
I am working on LyX 2.0 (wonderful release!!) I am not able to make LyX and Maxima interact. I have put the Maxima path (C:\Program Files\Maxima-5.24.0\bin) in LyX (Tools->Prefereces->Paths) and reconfigure LyX. Nevertheless, when I try to compute something (like 2+2) I just obtain an empty space after the formula. Any suggestion? Thanks, Francesco
