Apparently this is a result of changes made by Burcin Eroal. Fricas without X support can be built with the version of clisp included with Sage. X is only required to run Axiom graphics and Hyperdoc - neither of which are normally accessible from within Sage. http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/90bd5cd51238c848/a891aee4688e88f3?lnk=gst&q=fricas+clisp#a891aee4688e88f3 > 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.
