You haven't provided any code so we have no idea what
the problem is. Make sure you have read the troubleshooting
sections on the home page?
ryacas.googlecode.com
Here is an example:
> library(Ryacas)
Loading required package: XML> x <- Sym("x")
> Factor(x^2-1)
[1] "Starting Yacas!"
expression((x + 1) * (x - 1))
You can also try the rSymPy package.
Installation has fewer gotchas:
> library(rSymPy)
Loading required package: rJava> sympy("var('x')") # define x to be symbolic
[1] "x"> sympy("factor(x**2-1)")
[1] "-(1 + x)*(1 - x)"
