When I run xmaxima (5.9.1-r1) it works fine until I try to access the
documentation in the link in the lower pane. When you click on the "Full
Documentation" link in the lower pane, you get an error message
couldn't open "/usr/share/maxima/5.9.1/doc/html/maxima_toc.html": no such file
or directory
It looks like the ebuild is installing the documentation in the wrong place; it
ends up in
/usr/share/doc/maxima-5.9.1-r1/html
and it should be in (as the error message indicates)
/usr/share/maxima/5.9.1/doc/html
Try the following (as root):
# ln -s /usr/share/doc/maxima-5.9.1-r1 /usr/share/maxima/5.9.1/doc
That worked for me.
Maybe a
symlink ${D}/usr/share/doc/${PF} /usr/share/${PN}/${PV}/doc
should be added at the end of the ebuild's src_install() function?
HTH, Lars
Oops, without the "${D}", of course...
Thanks for the notice. In 5.9.1-r2, documentation is back to its right place,
with a "/usr/share/doc/maxima-5.9.1-r2" symlink pointing to it to respect the
Gentoo FSH.

On ppc we are still on version 5.9.1 without anything else in ~ppc.
I cannot even start xmaxima as it displays a message saying that it
doesn't find the documentation and exit (after being invited to click
OK in a box). maxima works fine (but I didn't try to access the documentation).
