I turned out that Xming doesn't behave well on my build configuration so I decided to switch to Cygwin/X. The archive on Waldek's web page should be unpacked into Cygwin's root directory. Then FriCAS can be started just by typing in /opt/fricas/bin/fricas command. I made an experiment with fresh Cygwin installation. It seems that following list of extra packages makes FriCAS running without any noticeable problems: xorg-server, xinit, xterm, clisp. We have to use Clisp, as it's the only common lisp implementation provided by Cygwin environment. I made an attempt to build FriCAS with SBCL 1.1.4 (downloaded from the website) but it doesn't cooperate with Cygwin at all (e.g. doesn't understand unix paths). -- Kind regards Krystian Bacławski -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
