Dear Maxima's Users,
Sometimes ago I revealed it but did not ask. Why the itensor package
disappear from maxima-5.6, though one was existed in maxima-5.4.
Some changes in another package ctensr was made. Perhaps this results to the
following:
(C1) load(ctensr);
(D1) ./ctensr.mac
(C2) load("ctenso.dm1");
Could not find `max$disk:[tensor]CTENSR.mc' using paths in
FILE_SEARCH_MAXIMA,FILE_SEARCH_LISP (combined values:
[./###.{mc,mac}, /usr/lib/maxima-5.6/{mac,sym}/###.mac,
/usr/lib/maxima-5.6/{share,share1,share2,tensor}/###.mc, ./###.{o,lsp,lisp},
/usr/lib/maxima-5.6/{src,share1,sym}/###.o,
/usr/lib/maxima-5.6/{src,share1,sym}/###.o,
/usr/lib/maxima-5.6/{src,share}/###.lisp, /usr/lib/maxima-5.6/{sym}/###.lsp] )
-- an error. Quitting. To debug this try DEBUGMODE(TRUE);)
(Well, I tried to correct "ctenso.dm1" by commenting the string where the
CTENSR.mc is called and this gives:
(C3) load("ctenso.dm1");
Evaluation took 00.10 seconds (00.40 elapsed)
(D3) ctenso.dm1
(C4)
without any information about what was it done. The same result is with
others ctensr.dm#
What is going wrong?
One idea about the future of maxima. It would be extremely usefull to make an
electronic archive about applications of maxima in science. As for me, I'm
working in turbulence astrophysics and having expirience in calculations
typical for turbulence physics (it concerns moslty with averaging operations
of tensors) I'm going to adopt my codes from mathematica to maxima in near
future.
best regards, Valerij
