thanks
Greetings! Just received this report from a Debian user of 5.6. I
can't find the files either, so it would seem the documentation should
be ammended, no?
Take care,

Package: maxima
Version: 5.6-16
Severity: normal
According to the info documentation, there is a function
"ZSOLVE" for solving simultaneous non-linear equations.
The info docs say to type
PRINTFILE("zsolve.usg") at the maxima prompt for documentation.
When I do so, the following happens.
(C2) PRINTFILE("zsolve.usg");
Could not find `zsolve.usg' using paths in FILE_SEARCH_USAGE (combined values:
[/usr/lib/maxima-5.6/{demo,share,share1,share2}/###.{usg,texi},
/usr/lib/maxima-5.6/doc/###.{mac}] )
-- an error. Quitting. To debug this try DEBUGMODE(TRUE);)
zsolve.usg is not on my system.
This might just be obsolete documentation, but it might also be a packaging
problem.
TIA for any assistance.
