Hi!
Thanks for bug report. wxMaxima.app doesn't seem to work on anyone's
computer but mine :D I think I have some wierd libraries installed. I
will take the .dmg down until wxMaxima.app is fixed.
About portability:
wxMaxima.app can be placed anywhere.
Maxima.app can be placed anywhere but then you have to set it's
location in wxMaxima configuration, so wxMaxima can find the
executable inside Maxima.app.
If Gnuplot.app is in /Applications then wxMaxima on startup
automaticly sets the correct variable "gnuplot_command", so the
plotting works. Otherwise you have to set gnuplot_command in your
maxima-init.mac to point to gnuplot binary (which is in Gnuplot.app/
Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplot... you can set it also to /usr/local/
bin/gnuplot if you have your own gnuplot).
Good to know at least Maxima.app works.
