mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

["Zhi Huang" <address@hidden>]

I compiled TeXmacs-1.0.6.12 under Cygwin in Windows XP, and Maxima-5.14.0. Both TeXmacs and maxima can be run from the command line (I use mrxvt terminal inside Cygwin) without problem.

However, in TeXmacs, when I run insert->session->maxima, it starts the maxima box, but the bottom of the window states [dead].

btw: I did change the tm_maxima and maxima_detect accordingly, i.e., by simply adding the 5.14.0 option.   not working. This same thing happened also for Maxima-5.13.0.

also for your reference, in my cygwin environment, texmacs directories are:
/usr/local/libexec/TeXmacs/...;
/usr/local/share/TeXmacs.


Anyone can give some help? Thanks a lot~~~

What OS (and if Linux, which distro) do you use?

Does command-line maxima run OK? Is it in the $PATH?

What happens if you run the script maxima_detect (usually it lives in
/usr/libexec/TeXmacs/bin/)? On my computer, I get

grozin@gandalf /usr/libexec/TeXmacs/bin $ ./maxima_detect
("5.14.0 sbcl"
"5.14.0 cmucl"
"5.14.0 clisp")

You should have something similar. If you get

#f

instead, this means that the script cannot find maxima.

You can try to start TeXmacs (once) as

texmacs -S

Or, more radically, you can remove the whole ~/.TeXmacs/ directory and
then start TeXmacs.
