We build a Python extension which uses libpari, namely https://github.com/sagemath/cypari2 (might be used on its own, in fact). The latter needs a single-threaded dynamic libpari (single-threaded as Pari's threads are hard, if not impossibe, to get to collaborate with other multithreading libs). I'll have a look at building it. We also need pari's packages (https://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/packages.html) - but these should not be hard to package, it's just data. > > Out of interest, are you looking at latest in the openbsd repo?

I use a stable ports tree --- the system is used for other things, not just development, so I didn't even know it's there :-) Moreover, ports were installed from a tarball. I just switched to CVS, and, sure enough, I see pari 2.11.2 (not 4) now. Dima
