>Description:

Port: /usr/ports/math/maxima

        xmaxima is a wish8.4 shell version of Maxima. It provides a short 
interactive tutorial to maxima. The original port could not find the proper 
wish shell.
>How-To-Repeat:

type  xmaxima  in a console
this warning appears:

In FreeBSD, wish is named with a version number. .....

< additional text omitted>

.....On your system, wish is installed under at least the following names:

wish8.3
wish8.4
 
 Because of the choices, xmaxima could not start.


>Fix:

Apply the following patch to the Makefile in /usr/ports/math/maxima

Makefile.diff
