Package: maxima
Version: 5.38.0-3
Severity: normal
The 'draw3d' function defined int he 'draw' package for maxima is failing.
In a conversation with me on debian-user, Nicolas George suggests that maxima
should be referring to the library through the SONAME, not through the file
ending with '.so'. That is, one should not have to install the corresponding
'-dev' package.
Being not too bright, I had worked around this by manually making a few
symlinks via a shell script. It seems that I might better have worked around
the problem by installing an appropriate '-dev' package, but I don't know what
the right package would be. There seems to be no 'tcl-vtk6-dev' package in
Debian unstable. But I didn't look hard to find an appropriately named
package.
I am running Debian unstable with maxima, vtk6, and tcl-vtk6 installed
according to documation here: http://riotorto.users.sourceforge.net/vtk/
The error output (pasted below) refers to a file that does not exist:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvtkCommonCoreTCL-6.3.so
Using 'dpkg -S libvtkCommonCoreTCL', I find

libvtk6.3: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvtkCommonCoreTCL-6.3.so.6.3
