Xmaxima on Mac OS X



Hi,

xmaxima worked on my system running Mac OS 10.1.3, I could even plot. 
You can get more details with  Justin C. Walker. Also, I'm running an 
old version of maxima-pre59 and I'd appreciate to receive some 
instructions about how to build the latest snapshot.

Unfortunately the native implementation of Tcl/Tk for Mac OS X has a lot 
of bugs and my session crashed. After that, I couldn't run xmaxima 
anymore. Since my build of maxima-pre59 stays at $home, I'm afraid it 
could have damaged sources or binaries (Is it possible?). Anyway, I 
reinstalled Tcl/Tk framework and wish shell, but it still hangs on 
startup, it's really funny to see...

I'll try to recompile the sources; so, please help me. (Mr. Yasuaki 
Honda, are you listening?)

...But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to 
the
Greeks foolishness;(...)but God has chosen the foolish things of the 
world
to confound the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to
confound the things which are strong;(I Cor.1:23&27)
