I installed (via apt-get) cantor and cantor-backend-maxima on my Ubuntu 12.04 system.
$ cantor --version Qt: 4.8.1 KDE Development Platform: 4.8.5 (4.8.5) Cantor: 0.3 When I launch cantor --backend maxima, it seems to work as expected. However, I find that the variables and functions defined in cantor-initmaxima.lisp are apparently undefined. For example, :lisp *prompt-prefix* is null. My guess is that cantor-initmaxima.lisp was not loaded, perhaps because it is apparently not included in the package cantor-backend-maxima. Is it possible that the init file was not loaded correctly? What is the value of *prompt-prefix* and other stuff defined there? I realize that there may be a newer version of cantor-backend-maxima. I can't (short of some major updating) compile the current source code from Git for lack of KDE 4. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
