Summary: Maxima 5.9.3 does not work

Initial Comment:
I tried to install Maxima 5.9.3 on Fedora4 using rpm
update with maxima-exec-clisp-5.9.3-1.fedora1 and it
does not run.  I received the message "[dead]" running
under TeXmacs 1.0.6.  I reinstalled Maxima 5.9.2 using
maxima-exec-gcl-5.9.2-2 and it now runs fine.  Please
let me know if a gcl version of 5.9.3 will be
available, or a fix for exec-clisp.  My e-mail is
Ata...@cs....  Thanks!

My problem was resolved when I was notified that TeXmacs
1.0.6 does not yet support Maxima 5.9.3.

From what you say above, it sounds like you only updated the
maxima-exec rpm. You need to update both the maxima rpm and
the maxima-exec rpm. Also, if I recall correctly, TeXmacs
doesn't recognize Maxima 5.9.3 because "5.9.3" isn't on its
list of Maxima versions (or something silly like that).

Advice (1): download the maxima-5.9.3-1.fedora1 rpm and try
again with both rpms.

Advice (2): Try to establish whether the problem is TeXmacs.
If you install the two 5.9.3 rpms (see item 1), can you
execute Maxima from the command prompt? The command is
"maxima". 

Advice (3): If "maxima" won't execute from the command line
and/or the rpms won't install, download the source rpm and
build binary rpms and install them. Maxima 5.9.3 has a lot
of enhancements and bug fixes, and, if you do create binary
rpms, we can host them at the SF file manager so other
people can download them.

FWIW
