The 'Accepting ...' message shows yacas was already running. Which is  
also the case
on your system (hence the socket already in use message). You can  
ignore that.
On Mac OS and I guess several other unix/linux environments, yacas  
will remain
running.

If you leave off the ";", it should work.

As this is quite Ryacas/yacas specific, for future messages I'll  
respond directly.

Regards,
Rob
