Ladies and gentlemen,
in the appendix I send you a small Maxima program running without any
problem under wxMaxima for Windows (wxMaxima 11.08.0 / Maxima 5.25.1)
but not running under the (Ubuntu-) Linux implementation (wxMaxima
0.85 / Maxima 5.22.1).
The purpose of the program is to convert a string into its bit
structure (using the ASCII-code) and display this bit structure
graphically.
Under Windows the program runs as expected.
Under Linux (after defining the "helper"-functions like Byte), calling
the procedure
StringToGraphic("Karlsruhe", yellow, black)
results in the error message
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:
Error in Apply [or a callee]:The function NIL is undefined.
Automatically continuing.
...
I would be grateful for some clarification on why this is so ... and a
hint on how to run the program under Linux.
Thank you very much,
Jochen Ziegenbalg
