I ran it again and got Error found in /usr/local/share/maxima/5.9.1/tests/rtest1.mac, problem: (10) Error found in /usr/local/share/maxima/5.9.1/tests/rtest15.mac, problem: (46) Error found in /usr/local/share/maxima/5.9.1/tests/rtest12.mac, problem: (20) If I restart maxima from the menu, this pattern repeats -- one run is fine, the next has errors. We seem to be having the same problem. I found this: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1116091&group_id=4933&atid=104933 Apparently this has been solved in the CVS version of maxima. As for 3d plotting, I don't know the solution to that problem.
