Hi Kurt,

I tried to install fpm as shown in the indicated website but there 
was an error message - see below.

Any suggestions on what to do would be helpful - thanks.

Regards,
Constantine.


sudo gem install fpm

Subject: [fricas-devel] Re: Debian package


Constanitne Frangos asked in a previous post: 

(2) Is there a debian package for fricas that can be 
conveniently installed with the synaptic package manager 
in ubuntu based linux? 

AFAIK there isn't one at the moment, right? 
In case there is some interest I'd suggest using "fpm" 

https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/wiki 

which is a really great tool to build various packages with ease. 
The following command, for example, builds a .deb from the official "tar": 

fpm -s tar -t deb -n fricas -v 1.3.1 fricas-1.3.1.amd64.tar.bz2 

Check content with: dpkg -c fricas_1.3.1_amd64.deb 

It is also possible to build it from an already installed distribution by 
choosing "-s dir". 
Of course one may configure a lot of other things and nicely wrap it up into a 
script.

Dear Fricas developper, 

I have built a Debian package with what is in the debian subdirectory of 
src/contrib. From memory I encountered the following things: 

. the efricas script is not installed with the executable bit set 
. the script that builds the debian package try to remove an unexisting 
file ('axiom') 
. several wrong things when trying to install the emacs lisp files. 
Problem of path I think 

Thats all if memory does not deserve me. 

Regards, 

Greg
