Dear Jaime, dear all,
first forgive me, I failed to give enough information. As Rupert
supposed, under Windows wxMaxima wants to create two temp files in the
(default) directory "systemroot/users/anybody", one of them called
"data.gnuplot", the other one "maxout.gnuplot". Changing the
maxima_userdir- as suggested by Jaime- doesn't affect the draw2d
internals in any way as it seems, but leaded to hit my target. I have
checked the two (hidden) files already and found both existing- so I
decided not to deal with them before because it said "can't create ...
". Now I created two new files named as described above in the user's
directory overwriting the existing ones and that was exactly the thing
making it run! Now I know why all that had happened. I installed an
older Maxima- version which had known problems of that type some time
ago by carelessness. I replaced the software by a new version but didn't
delete both temp- files which must have been corrupted- because they
can't be seen by default and I forgot about that...
I know that others have the same problem unsolved. I hope this will help
them, too.
Thanks!
@Wetti, Prof. Haager: for your information only.
