Greetings!
I'm trying to install Maxima on my Windows XP machine at home. I
downloaded and installed the 5.9.2 and have since downloaded Clisp and
extracted it. But things aren't marrying-up properly. Maxima is not
starting when I open up the program. I'm either missing a dependency, too
ignorant to attempt implementing maxima on my own, or both.
Any simple installation help out there? From what I'm reading on this
list, this project is mostly by folks a lot more savvy than I am, and who
leave things unsaid that the likes of this writer need to see in triplicate.
I used macsyma years ago on a SUN 3/60 machine, and I'm excited to hear
about an open-source CAS, but I may not have the requisite background to
implement it myself.
I've looked for all kinds of "installation for dummies" documentation and
have failed to find the needed detail. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
