I''m attempting to make a javascript/RoR site that utilizes maxima the free math program. In this thread http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/177232#777054 I was able to pass information into and out of maxima, but I wasn''t able to retrieve the last line, and when running this code multiple times: max = IO.popen("maxima", "w+") max.puts "1+1;" response = max.gets max.close I get a new instances (found via ps -A) of "ttys000 0:00.00 (sbcl)" every time i run the code. And i can''t kill this "sbcl" via "kill pid". I also get "ttys000 0:00.05 sbcl --core /opt/local/lib/maxima/5.15.0/binary-sbcl/maxima.core --noinform --end-runtime-options --eval (cl-user::run) --end-toplevel-options" (my version of maxima runs on a version of lisp known as SBCL) After a few dozen requests I get this error: http://www.pastie.org/380263 I know that piping into maxima can provide an adequate connection solution via PHP utilizing this (working) code from the WMI project: http://pastie.org/380232 If you have any php system piping experience, or any ruby piping experience (or maybe both). Can you provide any tips?? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
