#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 I "sudo port selfupdate" and "sudo port upgrade outdated".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! -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48152> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
