No, your problem is not the same as that reported by Duane. Yours seems
simply a syntax error. To compute an integral you must use the syntax:
integrate(1/(x^3+1), x);

This kind of remark will not have any influence on how fast your problem
is solved in this list. If we were selling you Maxima, we'd might get
concerned that you went to buy your CAS from somebody else; but since
nobody here is trying to sell you anything, that comment is really
unnecessary.
