I have problem: Let  A(2,0,0), B(0,3,0), C(0,0,6) and D(1,1,1) be four points and Delta is the line passing through the point D so that sum of distances from the points A, B, C to Delta maximum. Find a direction vector of Delta.

I tried. Let v(a,b,c) where a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 1 and my code
 

with(Student:-MultivariateCalculus):
with(Optimization):
A := [2, 0, 0]: 
B := [0, 3, 0]: 
C := [0, 0, 6]: 
DD := [1, 1, 1]: 
v := <a, b, c>: 
d := Line(DD, v): 
d1 := Distance(A, d): 
d2 := Distance(B, d): 
d3 := Distance(C, d): 
S := d1+d2+d3: 
Maximize(S, {a^2+b^2+c^2 = 1});

I didn't get the result. How to get the numbers a, b, c?
