In the past there was trouble building FriCAS/Axiom/OpenAxiom with the clips Sage provides since we do not build libsigsev [Maxima doesn't require it] and we do wrap the binary clisp into a thin shell wrapper because otherwise on relocation clisp does not find its default memory image. Maxima is build with some switch telling it to use clisp as clisp.bin for example. We will soon [a months or two] switch to using ecl [Maxima in interpreted mode works already] and FriCAS's test suite on the latest ecl is actually about 30% faster than clisp. And there are already speed ups beyond that. > *********************************************************** > Failed to configure Axiom. > *********************************************************** <SNIP> > Is there somewhere where package dependencies are listed?

For packages I build the dependencies are listed in the subpages linked from http://wiki.sagemath.org/Sage_Spkg_Tracking Not all packages are up there [or even current], but I have been updating the pages as I go along and usually write SPKG.txt for each indivisual spkg I work on. Burcin Eroal did also create a such an SPKG.txt for Fricas at http://wiki.sagemath.org/spkg/fricas but he left the dependencies blank. So updating that will certainly help. As is we do not have an optional or experimental gcl.spkg. > John Cheers, Michael --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
