Thank you! Well, I've compiled it as above - and it works fine. For the
record:
(%i1) t(x):=taylor(f(x),x,a,10)$
(%i2) integrate(t(x),x,a,a+h);
produces the result instantly.
All I need to find out now is how to get the history mechanism to work (so
that I can recall previous commands) in a linux shell, and how to get it to
play nicely with imaxima in emacs. Currently I get "LaTeX error in:
\mbox{\tt\red(\mathrm{\%o1}) \black}..." type errors. Actually, I've just
discovered that the arrow keys don't work in Maxima in a shell.
