Greets, Marko P.S.: Perhaps you would like to install wxMaxima and try that too. The port upgrade to tk @8.6.1_1 (x11) seems to have fixe the problem with maxima.

If the problem is seen using the quartz (native) Tk on Mavericks, it's very likely you are running into a critical Tk problem on Mavericks. There is a simple patch available that fixes the problem. https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41278 How do I tell which Tk is being used?? As to the Tk patch referenced in the cited ticket, how does one use it? (I’ve installed XQuartz just updated to 2.7.5.

maxima+xmaxima: can't type into Console
I installed maxima @5.30.0_0+xmaxima. By itself, the command-line maxima works (so far) as expected. When, instead, I start xmaxima from the command-line, I get two windows — Xmaxima: browser and Xmaxima: console. If I double-click one of the highlighted lines in the Xmaxima: browser window, then the output appears in the Xmaxima:browser window, and both the input and corresponding output appear in the Xmaxima:console window as well. But I cannot type any input directly into the Xmaxima: console window. Shouldn’t I be able to do so? And, if not, how can one enter input of one’s own (instead of just evaluate what’s in the prepared html page showing in the Xmaxima:browser window? --- Murray Eisenbergmurrayeisenb...@gmail.com 503 King Farm Blvd #101 Home (240)-246-7240 Rockville, MD 20850-6667Mobile (413)-427-5334 ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
