I am running the latest maxima from the CVS under
clisp-2000.03.06-2mdk.i586.rpm
on a Mandrake 7.2 system and got TeXmacs to interface with maxima.
The contents of the file /usr/libexec/TeXmacs-0.3.5.5/bin/tm_maxima
had to be altered as follows:
#!/bin/sh
export MAXIMA_DIRECTORY=/usr/local/maxima-5.6.cl
clisp -q -M /usr/local/maxima-5.6.cl/src/maxima-clisp.mem -i \
/usr/share/TeXmacs-0.3.5.5/misc/maxima/texmacs.lisp | maxima_filter
> > (1) trigsimp(sin(x)^2+cos(x)^2) fails.
This works for me.
