The first of your problem is known, but it should nevertheless configure javaview for use with polymake. Have you tried? Maybe issue the reconfigure command twice. If your installation of polymake does not start anymore due to these problems, delete the folder ".polymake" in your home dire...

Hmmm. Is the perl version used to compile polymake the same as the one you use to run it? What does perl --version say? And what directories are at /usr/local/lib/polymake/perlx ?

Your question mixes two things, existence of a nontrivial LINEALITY_SPACE implies that the polyhedron is not pointed, while existence of a nontrivial LINEAR_SPAN (or AFFINE_HULL for polytopes) implies that the polyhedron is not full-dimensional in its ambient space. Probably you think of the latter....

polymake itself does not draw axes (you could model them as a polytope...) but if you visualize your object with javaview, then you can switch on axes via "Inspector->Axis->All Axes". This opens a new window, where you can enable axes at the top, and choose the style.

Is povray installed on your computer? Is polymake configured to use it? Try show_unconfigured; in the shell (or check the list of used programs printed at the beginning of a new session). If povray.rules is in the list returned by this command, then issue reconfigure ("povray.rules"); If p...

Your input defines an affine cone with 4900 rays and 2-dimensional lineality. This is not a feasible input for a polytope in all versions of polymake up to 2.9.9. Yet, polymake always assumes correct input; it never checks this, leading to sometimes unexpected results. The recent version 2.10 can de...

I am not sure whether I completely understand your question. You are given a set of points M, and you want to determine the vertices of P:=conv(M), so you want to decide for each m in M whether m is a vertex of P? Deciding whether m is contained in the convex hull of some points could be phrased as ...

The function "isomorphic" checks for combinatorial isomorphism, so the check for the number of vertices will always evaluate to true. Yet this test removes probably more polytopes than intended. There is no obvious direct way in polymake to check for affine equivalence. In small (fixed) di...

polymake uses homogeneous coordinates for polytopes. So for polymake a polytope is embedded at height 1 in a space one dimension higher (this additional coordinate is the first for each vertex). See here for more details. polymake does not require the leading coordinate to be 1 in the input, your in...

The property OBJECTIVES does not exist, and the function that transforms your plain text file into the new file format accordingly fails. The given error message is maybe not very clear ... If you want to use polymake in compatibility mode than your file should define the property LINEAR_OBJECTIVE, ...
