Install mh and expl3 package You can download mh.tds.zip from CTAN's web page. Let's assume that the file is stored in /tmp directory. Then you change the directory to appropriate place such as /usr/local/share/texmf-local and perform the following command: % sudo unzip /tmp/mh.tds.zip Then you type:% sudo texhash to let LaTeX knows the installed mh package. You may also make sure the installation by:% kpsewhich breqn.sty if full path to breqn.sty is returned.You also need to download expl3.tds.zip from its CTAN's web page. Assuming it is downloaded in /tmp directory, the install procedure is quite the same as above: % sudo unzip /tmp/expl3.tds.zip Then you type:% sudo texhash to let LaTeX knows the installed expl3 package. You may also make sure the installation by:% kpsewhich expl3.sty Install Maxima You need to go to Maxima web page to obtain the source package.
