I just built FriCAS from the most recent svn trunk on a fresh and up
to date OpenSuSE 13.1 x86_64 Linux system. Using SBCL from the
repository worked fine. But in fact I did have a couple of unusual
problems.
1) Default locale on this system is en_US.UTF-8. This caused a
problem with building the hypertex files for hyperdoc because of
legacy shell code that assumes the old default sort order. I needed
the following small patch:
wspage@linux-24ag:~/fricas> svn diff

============
2) The other problem occurred after I successfully compiled and
installed FriCAS. When I tried to start FriCAS I got the message:
wspage@linux-24ag:~/fricas> fricas
The directory for FriCAS,
/usr/local/lib/fricas/target/x86_64-suse-linux, does not exist.
Goodbye.
====
I checked and in fact install had put the AXIOM directory in
/usr/local/lib64 but the Makefile still assumes that it will always be
at in lib. So I manually edited the file at
/usr/local/bin/fricas
as follows:
exec_prefix="${FRICAS_PREFIX:-/usr/local}"
AXIOM="${exec_prefix}/lib64/fricas/target/x86_64-suse-linux"
export AXIOM
====
I guess this needs a more general solution.
Voila. FriCAS on OpenSuSE.
