Meanwhile, ordinary Maxima, including the standard X interface, is already in Portage. So are emacs, xemacs and texmacs, all of which provide a user-friendly interface to Maxima. I personally use it from texmacs, because it formats the results in highly-readable mathematical form, rather than the "ASCII art" format of conventional Maxima. Will wxMaxima do that?

What a surprise when I had to study Algebra and I couldn't find wxMaxima in Portage... Well, I want to know how to make ebuilds (please if you could send me the web site that explains it), but the main reason because I write here is that I suggest you to make an ebuild for wxmaxima: http://wxmaxima.sourceforge.net, there is the source-code and I have read somewhere that is GPL licensed, so there won't be any legal troubles. > >Thank you so much. > > > -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
