Re: SV: Installing (i)maxima

Hi Lindsay,

The only maxima-specific things I had in my .emacs file were:

(push (concat bin-dir "emacs/site-lisp/imaxima-0.92") load-path)
(push (concat home-dir
"lisp/src/maxima-5.9.2/maxima-5.9.2/interfaces/emacs/emaxima")
load-path)
(autoload 'imaxima "imaxima" "Frontend for maxima with Image support" t)
(autoload 'maxima "maxima" "Frontend for maxima" t)
(setq imaxima-use-maxima-mode-flag t)

It looks like you have basically the same things in your .emacs file
with the exception of the last line. It's been a while since I built
Maxima/imaxima/SBCL and I didn't use the Fink versions of things when
I built everything, so my installation would have been a bit
different. Presumably, you followed all of the steps on the imaxima
installation page
(http://members3.jcom.home.ne.jp/imaxima/Site/Download%20and%20Install.html)
when you did your installation?
