#3 Cannot select Maxima kernel on Linux

[Michal J. Gajda]

I can't use MathDrag'n on Linux, because kernel is not
detected automatically and I cannot select it using
menu option.

When I try to select math kernel, no file in /usr/bin
directory is shown as executable (!) and when I enter
path /usr/bin/maxima, the dialog box doesn't allow me
to press the "Next" button.

I have the same problem on OSX 10.4.

I installed SBCL and maxima using Darwin ports. Maxima runs
from the command line just fine.

MathDragn doesn't see any executables in /opt/local/bin
which is where the top-level maxima shell script is.

I had similar problems on OSX. Part of the problem is a too
specific test for the maxima version (in my case). I am
using maxima 5.9.3 while MaximaKernel wants 5.9.1.

Changing this expectation didn't entirely help, though.

Thank you. This has been fixed and should work in the next release.
