# Many Thanks!
# I followed your reasoning at and look at the
"setup-imaxima-imath.el" file. At the line where the error occurs it
was written
(defvar *imaxima-imath-dir*
(file-name-directory (car (file-expand-wildcards
"d:/Program-Files/imaxima-imath/imaxima.el")))
"Imaxima imath directory, containing .el, .lisp, and .info files")
# I changed the folder name to c:/Program Files/... and Meadow opened
without any error this time!
# But I have a new problem :-( If I give the command M-x imaxima it
says: "Your version of Emacs does not support the image type png"
Help/Show Emacs version says "GNU Emacs 21.4.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.0.6001)
of 2005-08-28 on CUBE"
# The Meadow version is "Meadow 2.10" as said in README. But something
is wrong on the Meadow website.
http://www.meadowy.org/meadow/pukiwiki-en/ May be a spam attack.
# Should I try the NTEmacs 23, the other option listed in Easy Install Page?
