Hello *,
As you may have noticed, I committed maxima-5.14.0 to the science
overlay. The 5.13.0 ebuild in the main tree is not good, from my point
of view, because it does not allow one to build maxima with several
lisps, and I definitely want this (to compare running times and,
sometimes, behaviour too). The new ebuild is much cleaner and more
systematic in the sense that it is trivial to add (or remove) any lisp
to the set of supported lisps.
Thanks!!
Speaking of lisps, the current Gentoo gcl is broken (this fact is not
related to maxima). I am currently in contact with the authors, and hope
the authors, and hope to understand what goes wrong when it is built in
Gentoo - in Debian, for example, it works fine.
gcl is a disaster waiting to happen from what I've heard. The project
seems stalled, and if you want a Common Lisp, your "viable" open source
choices appear to be clisp and sbcl.

Sounds good ... I'll check all this out (with sbcl) :)
