Hi all, I’ve searched the list and though this is not the first time the problem is noted, I haven’t been able to find any solution. The short of it is: it just won’t work. So for instance if I type “5+2” then invoke Edit/Math/CAS, I only get a lonely = side to the right of the expression, and no result (see screenshot)> ... What happens if you call maxima from the console window and input the string '(5+2);' followed by <Return>? Here I get: (%i1) (5+2); (%o1) 7 (%i2) ... from the console I get the same as you: (%i2) 5+2; (%o2) 7 (%i3) It should work. Do you have the same PATH settings on console? Note, that I am not on MAC, so only guessing. Kornel I know it should work, which is why it is sooo frustrating! I cannot see any path settings in the Terminal, but I have put in lyX the same address as the one invoked for Maxima run from a terminal window, and still no joy!
