[Aquamacs-devel] imaxima plugin in new branch

[Nathaniel Cunningham]

I'd appreciate a few testers for the imaxima plugin, please.  (It's been
just over a year since David's email of 7/1/2009 indicating that there was
interest for such a plugin.  Let's test and make it available.)

For anyone interested, please:
- download the pre-packaged installer (link below) or build from the
plugins/imaxima git branch
- install; new files & directories should be
     /Applications/Maxima.app
     /Applications/Gnuplot.app
     /etc/paths.d/aquamacs-imaxima
     /Library/Application Support/Aquamacs Emacs/imaxima/
- check that permissions of the installed files look OK -- e.g. nothing
retains my ownership  ("nathaniel")
- Launch/restart aquamacs and follow a few of the tutorial items for imaxima
and imath, listed at http://sites.google.com/site/imaximaimath/ ; in
particular test
     inline math formulas
     inline plotting (e.g. wxplot2d())
     non-inline plotting (e.g. plot2d())
     converting between maxima and typeset input in imath-mode

Let me know how it goes!

Thanks,
Nathaniel
