Well, see the ECL manual, Sect. 3.1.1.2: https://ecl.common-lisp.dev/static/manual/System-building.html#Native-FASL It's a basically a dynamic shared library. On Linux I can do $ ldd local/lib/ecl/maxima.fas linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd17c88000) libecl.so.21.2 => /home/dimpase/work/software/sage/local/lib/libecl.so.21.2 (0x00007cb5df721000) libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007cb5df5c5000) libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007cb5df3f1000) libgmp.so.10 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgmp.so.10 (0x00007cb5df370000) libgc.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgc.so.1 (0x00007cb5df2f8000) libffi.so.7 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libffi.so.7 (0x00007cb5df2ec000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007cb5df2c8000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007cb5df2c2000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007cb5e06d2000) > give me much information.

I looked for configure > options but I did not see any. I don't think there is anything provided by Maxima build system in this respect (it's highly lisp-system dependent, after all). One has to copy maxima.fas into /usr/local/lib/ecl/ I suppose OpenBSD ports build system has a way to do this, so that it's correctly gets uninstalled, too. > Lete me test the basic funcionality of > maxima (diff, integrate, taylor etc.).

Give me some > time. There is a port: /usr/ports/lang/sbcl - yes, there is a port, as I wrote. I think for Maxima developers sbcl is the primary lisp system, and many Linux distros by default ship Maxima built with sbcl. Cheers, Dima
