Hi Waldek, congratulations for Fricas. I started using it recently and I am very impressed. I have some comments.
- It was not obvious to me that Fricas had a graphical interface. This prevented me from using for some time. Some notes about how to start fricas and how to best use it would be welcome for newbies. - I use OS X. This is another reason why I was not able to use the graphical interface: one has to explictly supply --x-includes and --x-libraries. Would it be possible to automatically detect this? - I had to fix ECL on a couple of places. The problem is that is a file on Fricas called float.lsp. This float.lsp, when compiled, leads to a float.h which,as you may guess, conflicts with /usr/include/float.h I have changed the extension of header files in CVS, so that now the files generated will be float.c float.eclh and float.data, no conflicts expected. - Fricas from CVS fails to build at all with ECL. Unfortunately SBCL from Fink also does not build Fricas. I believe the problems are totally unrelated, but I would like to be able to debug the problem with Fricas: all I get is an "Internal Error" message, no debugger, no hints on how to proceed. I believe it should be pretty easy to bundle Fricas and ECL in a DMG bundle for easy distribution in OS X. You may consider this for the upcoming release. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
