I'm trying to get the emacs maxima mode working. I've never used emacs
very much, I don't really care for it... the real solution to my itch
would be a "working" console maxima (with support for things like
backspace...).
I have the latest RPM package for Maxima...
[lemire@lagrange lemire]$ rpm -q maxima
maxima-5.6-1
And what seems like a decent emacs...
[lemire@lagrange lemire]$ rpm -q emacs
emacs-20.7-34
I've edited my .emacs file adding the following lines...
(autoload 'maxima-mode "maxima-mode" "Maxima editing mode" t)
(autoload 'maxima "maxima-mode" "Running Maxima interactively" t)
Then, after launching emacs, M-x maxima or M-x maxima-mode gives me
"cannot open load file: maxima-mode".
I tried various things like copying maxima-mode all over the place,
giving the full load path... basically, nothing works. I checked the
file permissions... and so on.
I should point out that I was able to succesfully other .el modes for
emacs. I'm not totally stupid. I understand the process.
I'm pretty sure emacs finds the files. Anyhow, it finds other .el files
without any problem.
So what happens??? What are the requirements... ???
Any chance anyone (not me) will ever fix the console app so that it
works like a standard console app (say, gnuplot....???) I got some
email from someone at some point (can't recall who) about a fix for the
console app...??? Whatever happened to this???
