More information available from Waterloo Maple's web site. See also the release notes for this version.

Notes for xmaple

On all the machines, you will see the following warning, which can be ignored.


     X Toolkit Warning:
         Name: menuitem
         Class: XmToggleButtonGadget
         Illegal mnemonic character;  Could not convert X KEYSYM to a keycode

On the linux machines, xmaple may die with a Segmentation fault. To work around this, specify the X display using the numerical IP address of the host. The host is the machine named in the DISPLAY variable; it may be the machine in front of which you are sitting, or it may be the remote machine (e.g. when using ssh -X). The IP address may be obtained by the command host. For example:


stever@toro{stever}xmaple
Segmentation fault
stever@toro{stever}echo $DISPLAY
toro:11.0
stever@toro{stever}host toro
toro.cs.mcgill.ca   	A	132.206.3.109
stever@toro{stever}xmaple -display 132.206.3.109:11.0
