Sac> Hi,

Sac> Both Yacas and TeXmacs work on my machine, but TeXmacs does not present 
Yacas 
Sac> as an option when I try to start an interactive session.  I've gone into 
and 
Sac> out of TeXmacs since installing Yacas, but I still have the problem.

Sac> Here are the specifics:  I am using Cygwin/XFree86 on a Pentium 4 
machine 
Sac> with the Windows XP operating system.  I am using TeXmacs-1.0.1 and 
Sac> Yacas-1.0.54.

Sac> My path is:
Sac> 
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/cygdrive/c/cygwin,C:/cygwin/usr/local/bin,C:/cyg

Sac> 
win,C:/MikTex/texmf/miktex/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOW

Sac> 
S:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Python22:/cygdrive/c/Program 
Sac> files/PC-Doctor for Windows XP/WINDSAPI:/usr/X11R6/bin

Sac> The Yacas application is in C:/cygwin/usr/local/bin, which I thought was 
in 
Sac> the path above, but I must admit that my knowledge of Unix is rusty, 
having 
Sac> last used it 10 years ago.  By the way, I compiled the mycas example and 
put 
Sac> it in the  same directory, but TeXmacs doesn't list that, either.

Sac> I will greatly appreciate any help you can give me.

Sac> Thanks,

Sac> Kurt Crowder

this is an (slightly modified) excerpt from an message of mine to the 
texmacs-dev list:


BTW, it is needed under cygwin to change the binary names of cas to
"cas-name.exe" within the if-line of the

(if (file-exists? "$PATH" "cas-name")
    (exec-file "$TEXMACS_PATH/progs/cas" "cas-name.scm"))

expression in init-texmacs.scm because for compatibility with windows
most binaries are named with ".exe" extensions. Another possibility
is a to create a link using the "ln"  unix command to the exe-binary
named without extension.

hope this helps!


Regards,

Stephan
