Two:
- you are using the fink port, I use the Darwinports version of maxima.
- Apparently your wish is an X11 version and it can't find the DISPLAY
environment variable. You could run it from an xterm instead or from
Terminal where DISPLAY is set to :0.0
I am using the Aqua version of wish. Contrary what the name suggests (at
least for non-MacOSX people, the X in xmaxima does not necessarily imply
X11, although it originally did.
I have also tried to install an openmcl version of maxima, but there
xmaxima does not work. I guess the interprocess communication works
differently, but I haven't investigated.
