Using maxima-cvs with TeXmacs



I don't know if anyone else has tried this yet, but the default TeXmacs
interface to Maxima doesn't work for the cvs version of Maxima.  The
error looks something like:

/usr/local/libexec/maxima/5.9.0pre-cvs/maxima-run-lisp: Sorry, option
-run not supported for LISPTYPE=oad.

This is caused by maxima no longer taking the -load option: it is now
-p that needs to be used.  So in the
TeXmacs-1.0.0.3-src/misc/scripts/tm_maxima file, change the line 

exec maxima -load "$TEXMACS_MAXIMA_PATH/texmacs.lisp" | maxima_filter

to

exec maxima -p "$TEXMACS_MAXIMA_PATH/texmacs.lisp" | maxima_filter

and recompile.

It should now work, except for the problem that the feedback saying the
texmacs.lisp file is loaded appears in TeXmacs.  Anyone know a way to
avoid that?
