I am currently exploring the Maxima package via wxMaxima and am trying
to understand how I can install the package, "draw".
I downloaded all the mac and lisp files from:
"http://maxima.cvs.sourceforge.net/maxima/maxima/share/draw/";
and placed them in a directory called "draw" under the directory:
"C:\Program Files\Maxima-5.9.3.99rc2\share\maxima\5.9.3.99rc2\share\"
I then tried "load("draw")" and load("draw.lisp") in wxMaxima but got:
"Could not find `draw' using paths in
file_search_maxima,file_search_lisp, ........."
I presumed that my new "draw" directory had to be part of the directory
list contained in the variables mentioned.
I then used load(".../draw.lisp"); where ... was the new "draw"
directory and got a message that :
"Load failed for C:/Program
Files/Maxima-5.9.3.99rc2/share/maxima/5.9.3.99rc2/share/draw/draw.lisp
-- an error. Quitting. To debug this try debugmode(true);"
This seemed to indicate that the file had been found but that the actual
loading had failed.
Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong please?
I run Windows 2000 on an IBM laptop.
Thanks for any help you can give me,
