Robert,
I think your suspect is right. I saw in Synaptic that I had installed
the package 'maxima-emacs' in version 5.27.0. The files of this
package are in
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/maxima
and have the old 'lable'-symbols. I replaced all files by versions from
/usr/local/share/maxima/5.29.1/emacs
and imaxima works as intended.
The 5.27.0 version of maxima-emacs I had installed by a deb-file from
debian sid. The 5.29.1 version of Maxima I compiled and installed from
sources.
How can I make sure that installing Maxima from sources also updates
the maxima-emacs installation?
In addition: My .emacs doesn't say anything about the load path.
.emacs:
(autoload 'imaxima "imaxima" "Frontend of Maxima CAS" t)
(autoload 'imath "imath" "Interactive Math mode" t)
(autoload 'imath-mode "imath" "Interactive Math mode" t)
(setq imaxima-fnt-size "LARGE")
(setq lpr-command "xpp")
