Hello list:
I have maxima-5.23.2 installed on my PCLinuxOS system, callable from
"/usr/bin/xmaxima"
and I just used git to download and install maxima-5-24post to
~/MaximaTest where it created:
~/MaximaTest/bin
~/MaximaTest/lib
~/MaximaTest/libexec
~/MaximaTest/share
If I cd to ~/MaximaTest/bin and run ./maxima -l <lisp> , I am able to
run the local copy of maxima-5-24post in a shell and it finds and uses
the lisp dialect I provide.
If I cd to ~/MaximaTest/bin and run ./xmaxima -l <lisp>, it calls
xmaxima for maxima-5-23-2 and will not allow me to run the local copy of
xmaxima.
I tried:
export PATH="~/MaximaTest/bin;~/MaximaTest/lib;~/MaximaTest/libexec;"$PATH
prior to running the local copy of xmaxima with "./xmaxima" but it opens
/usr/bin/xmaxima with GCL.
I tried ~/MaximaTest/bin/xmaxima with the same result.
I tried ~/MaximaTest/bin/xmaxima -u 5.24post -l ccl, but it shows
"/usr/bin/maxima: line 174: exec: openmcl: not found" in the shell window.
It seems I cannot run the local copy of xmaxima without first disabling
or uninstalling maxima-5-23-2, but I'd really like to test
maxima-5-24post prior to installing it permanently. Does anyone have
suggestions on how I might be able to run the local version?
Thanks,
Paul Bowyer
