I've been trying to install maxima-5.9.2 on a Redhat 9.0/Fedora Core 1
hybrid system. I could install the rpms of maxima, maxima-exec-gcl and
xmaxima, but the executables wouldn't run - I just got a segmentation fault.
I ended up compiling the source version - and that runs fine. But I would
like the nice interface of xmaxima. I can't run the xmaxima executable from
the xmaxima rpm, as that expects all its files to be found in a different
place as used by the source version.
So I could (I suppose) recompile, putting everything in a different
directory (where, I don't know yet), or maybe there's some way of getting
xmaxima to "see" where my current maxima is.
Can anybody help me on this?
cheers,
Alasdair
