Maxima and MacOSX



Yes I've the Fink's version. After playing with xmaxima script a little 
bit, I've started to remember something. Replacing wish invocations 
with /usr/bin/wish (the Aqua version) I was able to start xmaxima 
without X11.

Still there some problems though. I'll ask with the Fink's mainteiner.

Thanks,
	Andrea.
