Has anybody here tried working with Maxima in Slime? I have managed to figure out how to load it (start slime with sbcl, load maxima-build.lisp, then do (maxima-load) to load the fasl files) and typing (run) will start Maxima OK,
It's perhaps simpler to use the existing maxima image. The example below uses a build tree, but it should be easy to adapt it to a regular installation (which I never do :-) C-u M-x slime and then type in the minibuffer sbcl --core /usr/src/maxima/src/binary-sbcl/maxima.core In order to get Maxima to set the various paths correctly I find it easiest to set MAXIMA_PREFIX and MAXIMA_LAYOUT_AUTOTOOLS in the environment. You can do this either from the shell before starting emacs or from within emacs before starting slime. The latter works like this (but your settings are likely different) (setenv "MAXIMA_PREFIX" "/usr/src/maxima/") (setenv "MAXIMA_LAYOUT_AUTOTOOLS" "false")
but then when I tried to do load("./file.mac"); I got some kind of error
I think you get the same error if you just type `true;' or something. Not a serious problem as far as Maxima is concerned. Just a spurious call to interactive-stream-p in OUTPUT (src/displa.lisp). Apparently, SBCL (and CMUCL) doesn't like being passed a Gray stream as argument here. In any case this call will be eliminated as part of http://www.math.utexas.edu/pipermail/maxima/2005/009681.html Wolfgang
