According to his assessment, Maxima compiles *some code* upon startup, but not all of maxima.

The fact that the compilations failed was something relatively specific to your mac, but not unique to it. Peter sketched a system where it didn't work either. Hopefully, Peter will patch the maxima shipped with sage so that we avoid the compilation. Then probably the next sage release will not have this compilation issue anymore. In the longer run, hopefully the maxima people find a way around compiling some code at init-time. Then we can remove our patched behaviour we're going to need in the mean time. Thank you for informing us about the problem. It points at something that is undesirable in general, but wasn't really noticed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
