Category: Lisp Core - Integration Group: Fix for 5.9.2 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Dick Silbar (silbar) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: interactive never pauses for answer Initial Comment: Maxima version: 5.9.2Maxima build date: 11:53 12/12/2006host type: i686-pc-linux-gnulisp-implementation-type: GNU Common Lisp (GCL)lisp-implementation-version: GCL 2.6.7 When trying out the "Use of 'assume'and interactive query" in the /usr/shar/info/maxima.info (which I think I got to through help:integration), the question comes up and never pauses for my answer, then repeats itself ad nauseum. This is in wxMaxima, in Ubuntu Dapper-Drake (as updated to be able to run wxMaxima). I should point out that I am a new user of wxMaxima and maxima, although I am well experienced in using Mathematica on computers at work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Harald Geyer (hgeyer) Date: 2007-06-10 11:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=929336 Originator: NO Hi Dick! I had the same problem almost a year ago. The problem is not in maxima but in a specific version of gcl 2.6.7. See http://bugs.debian.org/363909 I think you have the following options to fix your problem: 1) Install updated gcl and compile maxima yourself 2) Install a different lisp and compile maxima yourself 3) Upgrade to a newer ubuntu maxima package which was compiled with a sufficiently new version of gcl 4) Upgrade to a newer ubuntu version BTW 5.9.2 is really old. The current version of maxima is 5.12.0, which contains lots of new features and bug fixes. I recommend you to get the sources of this version and compile it yourself. Compiling maxima on linux is quite easy. I think this bug report should be closed, because the maxima developers can't do anything about this problem. HTH, Harald ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=104933&aid=1734271&group_id=4933 |
