In any case, I get the correct result running version 2.2. Ditto for older versions, run on a NeXT machine. In[2]:= $Version Out[2]= Linux 2.2 (June 3, 1995) In[3]:= Integrate[(ao+x)^-1 (bo^-2), x] // InputForm Out[3]//InputForm= Log[ao + x]/bo^2 Daniel Lichtblau Wolfram Research danl at wolfram.com
