Maple 11 threads on Intel Mac

Does Maple 11 support multithreading on an Intel Macintosh?

You may infer from the question that I tried but was unsuccesful. I used one of the simple examples in the Threads:Create help page. I got:

Error, (in Threads:-Create) No support for multithreading in this kernel

This is Maple 11.02, build 330022. I am running OS X 10.4.11 on a MacPro with 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors.

Do you have set Enable SMP support in Preferences/General, and have you applyed it globally and restarted Maple?

Is kernelopts(multithreaded); returning true?

The answer was "no" but now it is "yes." I'll try again..

Who knows what I was doing wrong but multithreading works on an Intel Mac under Maple 11. Thanks for trying.

maple -M

Just for a curiosity, can you try to run the command line version of maple with the -M option (ie., in Terminal, enter something like /Library/Frameworks/Maple.framework/Versions/12/bin/maple -M) and then check whether kernelopts(multithreaded); is returning true?

maple -M

That's how I got it to work.
