Jesper -<br>
Thanks. Telling emacs to look in /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp did
the trick. Now, to get imaxima running correctly. It does not seem to want
to display the equations correctly, but that will be the subject of another
post if I can't figure this out.<br>
Thanks,<br>
Dick<br>

Yes, that's right.

The INSTALL file is just an auto generated "boiler plate" text.
Had there been any executables in the package, they would have been
placed in /usr/local/bin. As it happens there's only documentation and
Lisp files.
If you're using the default Redhat 7.3 version of GNU Emacs, I think
the files will be installed in either
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp
or
/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp
Whereever they were installed, it doesn't seem to be a place your Emacs
is looking. So, you'll need to add a line like this in you ~/.emacs
file:
(add-to-list 'load-path "/some/where/")
where "/some/where/" is a directory where the imaxima.el(c) and
imaxima.lisp files are present (this could just be the imaxima directory
in your home dir).
