I amd trying to get imaxima working with Emacs on a Vista machine.
My first problem is getting maxima.bat recognised
I have c:\Program Files\Maxima-5.14.99rc1\bin in my path, but if I issue
the command maxima in the command prompt window then I get the message
that maxima is not a recognized unless I am actually in the bin directory.
Then maxima.bat is found and runs maxima.
What is then totally weird (to me at least) is that if I then cd to
another directory, maxima.bat is found, so I can run maxima just by
issuing maxima at the command prompt.
Does anyone on the list have an explanation and a workaround for this?
I am reasonably experienced on Windows and Vista, but totally
inexperienced with maxima.
