lyx1.6.5 + maple (windows)

2009-12-24 Thread Philip A. Viton


I've got lyx set up so that it can use the computer algebra system 
octave, so I know that it's possible to do this; but I can't seem to 
get it to work with maple. (In mathed I type 1+2 then do Edit - 
math- Use Computer Algebra - maple,simplify and I get an equal sign 
but no result).


I've added the location of maple's executables to my Lyx Path (just 
as I did with octave). Could the problem be (a) that the path is a 
bit unusual in that it ends with ...\bin.win ; or (b) that the main 
executables aren't named maple.exe, but rather something like 
cmaple9.5.exe? What is Lyx trying to run when it receives a computer 
algebra command involving maple? I could always make an additional 
copy of the relevant exe under a new name, if I know which of the 
various maple exe's lyx wanted.


Thanks for any help here!
