I'm not getting the expected output when using the RLFI package (I'm
using the free version of Reduce on Linux - CSL, dated April 2011).
After loading the package and setting the latex switch, the output of an
expression is "tex(expression)", e.g. the result of entering (x + 1)^2;
at the reduce prompt gives tex(x^2 + 2x + 1)", and I was expecting the
output to be in latex format.
Have I overlooked something?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
If I browse the sources and check the file
trunk/packages/misc/rlfi.tst
to try. I have just tried that with a versionm of Reduce made from the
current subversion source files and it seems OK there.
But AHA - if you are using the CSL version of Reduce and letting it run in
a window then its "fancy" display appears to interact with this leadimg
to the behaviour you describe. This is - I guess - going to be because the
2D display code (source in tmprint.red) also enables TeX-style output and
the two independent attempts to convert stuff to LaTeX are fighting!
Thank you for reporting this! Youcan get around it by going "off fancy;"
as well as "on latex;" and maybe we should make that happen automatically.
Or if you launch Reduce from a console with the "--nogui" flag on the
command line.
I might also be seeing problems even loading rlfi with tmprint loaded -
and will try to investigate. I hope you can imagine how TeX-generation
packages mainly created by two different people (ie rlfi and tmprint) for
different purposes might clash like this!

Thanks for the feedback, but the "fancy" switch is off by default when I load RLFI and set "latex", and also I get an error when trying to run Reduce from a console with the "nogui" flag:
Unknown extended option "--nogui"
Not sure if it makes any difference but I have the 32 bit Ubuntu version but I'm using Salix (a Slackware based distro).
However, LateX output is ok if I start Reduce using the option to output to a file, which actually suits my needs better. :-)
cheers.
