Today, maxima-sage was updated (or introduced ?) in Debian testing.
Will it solve the impossibility to compile sage with system maxima ? (the actuel problem was th lisp interpreter) t. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.

There are several reasons why SageMath cannot use Debian's maxima package at the moment and this second package maxima-sage is needed: 1. Lisp compiler The maxima package in Debian uses only GCL as common lisp compiler, while SageMath uses ECL. SageMath cannot use the GCL version, since the preferred interface to Maxima is via an ECL fasl library. The possibility of adding an ECL version of Maxima to the maxima package was discussed in https://bugs.debian.org/779804 2. Version mismatch Since adapting SageMath to a new Maxima version is a non-trivial process, each version of SageMath needs to be accompanied with a specific version of Maxima. Having a specific Maxima package for SageMath allows us to provide the Maxima version that SageMath is using. This maxima-sage package is coinstallable with the maxima packages in Debian.
