#48152: wxMaxima will not launch unless explicitly called with "open" command
-------------------------+--------------------------------
Reporter: m74z00219@… | Owner: macports-tickets@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3
Keywords: | Port: wxmaxima
-------------------------+--------------------------------
I was asked to open a new ticket after today posting to ticket #47755.
Here's what I said:
I would like to report that I can no longer launch wxmaxima directly.
It'll launch if I use "open /path/to/wxmaxima.app," though not just by
inputting "wxmaxima" as with other ports. Inputting "maxima" works just
fine. Why might this be? I figure it has something to do with the removal
of the above symlink and I know for a fact that "/Applications/MacPorts/"
was never part of my PATH variable. Even so, I did try, in succession,
adding "/Applications/MacPorts/" and "/Applications/MacPorts/wxMaxima.app"
to my PATH and still it would not launch with "wxmaxima."
Here's some other stuff I tried. I "sudo port selfupdate" and "sudo port
upgrade outdated". I did it once more just to be sure. Unfortunately, the
problem persists.
Initially, I also had a problem with wxmaxima not being able to connect to
maxima. This was resolved by making sure that wxMaxima was listening to
the default port of xmaxima. Or, at least I think that's what did it.
Actually, I just played around with the port option and apparently it
still works, so...mystery. It connects so whatever.
I thought briefly about nuking my Macports installation, but that seems
like overkill as it seems that the problem is just with maxima. Honestly,
I'm so confused. There's also xmaxima -- where does that fit it in??
To sum up, what might explain the inability to launch wxmaxima from
command line?
Here's my PATH:
{{{
PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/etc/php56:/opt/local/apache2/bin:/opt/local/lib/mysql56/bin:~/bin:~/.composer/vendor/bin:${PATH}
}}}
Thanks!
