Hello All, I am new to maxima and would like to read a data file to work with
records which typically look like
A 65 0 0 75
B 10 55 60 0
etc
I want to be able to find average values for rows and columns separately for the
letter entry and for the entire file. I have seen information in the list
archives refering to numericalio.lisp but do not know how to use it and assume
it is not in the version of maxima that I have:
bob@mymachine:~$ xmaxima --version
GCL (GNU Common Lisp) 2.6.2 CLtL1 Jun 29 2004 18:53:13
bob@mymachine:~$ maxima --version
Maxima 5.9.0
I take it that numericalio.lisp is not in this version since
load("numericalio.lisp")$ produces:
Could not find `numericalio.lisp' using paths in
FILE_SEARCH_MAXIMA,FILE_SEARCH_LISP (combined values:
[/home/bob/.maxima/###.{mac,mc}, /usr/share/maxima/5.9.0/{share,share/algebra,#

sp}, /usr/share/maxima/5.9.0/src/###.{o,lisp,lsp}] )
-- an error. Quitting. To debug this try DEBUGMODE(TRUE);)
Where can I get the version of numericalio.lisp I need and is there
documentation on its use?
I am using Debian Sid with linux kernel version 2.6.5-1-k7.
Thanks for the help, Bob
