Apparently the version of ECL in Sage will not build on Fedora 14 which is
coming out on the 2nd November.
I created a trac ticket for this.
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/10185
Note however that the latest ECL is 10.4.1, which apparently does build on
Fedora 14, since a package I created long ago on 10.4.1 does build.
But when I created a 10.4.1 package some time ago, it would not work with the
Maxima in Sage.
Currently
* Fedora 14 is not out
* Only Fedora 13 is supported in Sage
* We don't have the latest Maxima
* We don't have the latest ECL
* At least a few months ago, there were issues with updating versions of ECL
and Maxima - see for example
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9264
So it looks like there could be a big can of works opened if to try to get Sage
working on Fedora 14.
I'm personally not going to try to resolve these issues, but I thought I'd bring
them up on sage-devel.
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9840
is an ECL issue which is really annoying me, but it is a very difficult one to
solve.
