Summary: mstringp missing

Initial Comment:
In the CVS version the function mstringp is missing in nparse.lisp. This leads to an error when trying to differentiate something:
e.g. try diff(x)
fixed locally by copy from maxima-5.13.0

mstringp has been added back in for compatibility.

it works ok with the cvs version of wxmaxima
(if only after I copied wxmathml.lisp to /usr/local/share/wxMaxima)
sorry for the trouble... that's what you get when you mix inconsistent
versions!

I'm using wxMaxima 0.7.3a. I tried clisp first, now GCL2.6.8pre (built
with --enable-ansi)
Just tried maxima from a console: no error there...
What can wxMaxima have to do with this?

Are you typing "maxima" from the shell or using another interface?
What lisp are you using?

I just did a complete cleanup, re-download, rebuild, still the same:
(I'm running debian linux, kernel 2.6.23.9, amd64)

(%i1) diff(x);
Maxima encountered a Lisp error: 
Error in COND [or a callee]: The function MSTRINGP is undefined.
Automatically continuing.
To reenable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.
(%i2)

I can't duplicate this.  Grepping through the source tree, I don't find
mstringp anywhere.
Perhaps try updating from cvs?  Can you provide a transcript and if
possible a backtrace?

I don't think so, I downloaded the cvs version via
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@ma...:/cvsroot/maxima co
-P maxima

Are you using imaxima?
Imaxima has not yet been updated for the latest cvs versions, 
which do not use mstringp.
