Re: [Maxima] Re: How to call Maxima functions from Octave

[Valerij Pipin]

Do not know whether this help to discussion.There was netmath 
package developed by W. Schelter.
The whole idea was to start  some daemon as a network service 
that would accept the comand from maxima, octave and some other
program. I tried to build this package on my linux box but 
failed.
